Earlier this year I was doing this fairly regularly.  Then I began to blog other things.  But recent discussions with JJ have brought this back to mind so I thought I might do it again.

Hey, this is simple.  I am not going to make it complicated like JJ does.  He can try to baffle you with ####.  I just want to show you something that might make you go huh, interesting.

Let's update this a bit though.  In order to be consistent with previously expressed views, let's say that NASCAR goes with 11 four-car Nextel Cup teams.  Then let's ban the top 44 drivers from the Busch Series so young guns or old dogs can have those seats.  So what do we have?

For now let's look at the current Busch standings and simply extricate the top 44 Cup drivers from the field.  Then we can see what is left and consider it to be what a potential Busch field might look like if there were no Cup drivers allowed in it.  I am going to call it "The Busch Class Standings."
