The easy way is to limit full-time Cup drivers to 15-20 Grand National starts.

Per year, or in their career?

Make one NASCAR Championship Series, 29 points scoring races plus two exhibition events, the All-Star challenge and an annual trip to Europe (or it could be to Japan if you want). Something like ISC - 12 tracks, 1 each + 1 additional at Daytona - 13 races SMI - 6 tracks, 1 each + 1 additional at Bristol - 7 races OTH - 4 tracks, 1 each - 4 races New - Laguna Seca, Miller MS Park, Hermanos Rodriguez, Ile de Notre Dame, Interlagos. And All-star event (Charlotte) International exhibition event in Europe as a race in to the dark, a road course or an oval. The COT will be nice and cheap to run hopefully. Small point - please put functioning headlamps on the cars, it would be great to see stock cars running using headlights on a roadcourse. Make the quali a one run deal (no-one gets a free ride in to the race) for ovals, but something like F1 for qualifying on road courses. |

I don't like the idea of restricting races. If you have a Cup driver lose his ride and land a Busch ride while still seeking out another Cup ride what happens? It just seems like it would be a confusing mess to me. I think making the cars different will help to some degree. There seems to be a slight tapering off in the number of guys running full schedules in both series this year and next.
I think the real solution would be to change the purse system. First, drivers that are entered in the next days Cup race get payed for lower positions. For instance 10 Cup drivers are entered in a given Busch race and finish in the top-10 spots. They receive the purse money for 34th to 43rd place. The 11th place finisher who's a Busch regular gets 1st place money. Also, there can be a limit set on appearance money. Second, at the end of the season any driver who finished top-25 or better in Cup and will receive a payout from the points purse will not be eligible for money for points in either of the lower series. A lot of the guys run the Busch series for money more than anything else, limiting that will help cut back on guys willing to run the races. Anybody wondered what they are going to call this next year? "Nationwide-whacking" doesn't sound very good. J.D. |
