This blog is a copy of two of my responses, one to JayJayDean and one to photographer on JayJay's blog.  O.K., I admit it.  I am a bit conceited.  I think these responses are decent enough to merit their own blog.  But more than that I wanted to save the info where I could find it later.

For the full affect please see:

The true Buschwackers are;

1. Ward Burton
2. Kyle Busch
3. David Gilliland
4. Kevin Harvick
5. Matt Kenseth
6. Reed Sorenson

These are Nextel Cup regulars that run only the companion Busch events which in my mind is the pure definition of a Buschwacker. Let's call them Type I wackers.

Then there are those that are at least more honorable in that they are running all Busch Series events so that they could be termed Nextel and Busch regulars. Let's call them Type II wackers.

They include;

1. Greg Biffle
2. Dave Blaney
3. Carl Edwards
4. Juan Pablo Montoya
5. David Ragan
6. David Reuttiman
7. J. J. Yeley

Adding all of the Type I and Type II wackers together gives you 13 Nextel Cup drivers that make up the majority of the wackers by running Busch races roughly 85% of the time.

Then add the 12 Busch regulars and you have the typical 25 cars you normally see in Busch races. The remaining 18 cars are pretty much field fillers whether they are "Mexican" road racers or "American" oval racers.

The fact that there are 13 wackers discourages decent mid-level racers from running the Busch series, so they go run trucks. That is what leaves approximately 18 local field fillers that run Busch that at best might be qualified to run trucks regularly. You take these 18 to Bristol and you get a wreckfest.

This is why NASCAR needs to

1) Allow the top 35 from the previous season to run a full Nextel Cup Season.
2) Have a qualifying school in January for the other 8 positions and you are in all year.
3) Do not allow Nextel Cup drivers to run Busch.
4) Increase Busch Purses to add more incentive for regular truck drivers to run Busch.

Then and only then will we have a healthy Busch series.
