The Nationwide Series makes their first run at Michigan International Speedway for the 2013 season. The race will be sponsored by Alliance Truck Parts.

Trevor Bayne won his second career race at Iowa yesterday after an epic battle for the win with Austin Dillon, but the Cup drivers including Kyle Busch make their return to the Nationwide Series. Expect a Cup driver like Kyle to come and ruin the race on Saturday.

The entry list currently has 38 entries but expect a few TMG cars to enter and start & park to make a full field.

Also, after taking a look at the weather, it looks like we SHOULD be able to get this race in. No real threat of rain is on the lookout. Only a 30% chance of rain on Saturday in the Irish Hills. My source: http://www.theweathernetwork.com/weather/united-states/michigan/brooklyn

But that's what you do when you're dissatisfied: make your voice heard until they listen, and NASCAR allowing today's stars to eat a majority of its young is not satisfying to anyone who wants to see the stars of tomorrow race against one another until they themselves become the stars of today. Although, the media's had quite a hand in that.

Unfortunately, NASCAR seems content with the organization being eaten from the inside, so, yeah, it's kind of futile.

Doesn't mean we should stop, though.

I wonder if NASCAR has ever considered some kind of format to handicap the cup drivers, such as allowing more open rules for non-cup drivers or making cup drivers start from the back. I'm not saying its a good idea, but I wonder if anything like that has been considered.

Guarantee you if Mark Martin, Rusty Wallace, Jeff Gordon, Dale Earnhardt, and gang ran 20-30 Busch races a year, Jimmie Johnson, Ryan Newman, Kyle Busch, Kevin Harvick, and many other young stars would NEVER develop.

Except, those drivers in bold all won as BGN regulars against fields with cup drivers in them.




As an example of why I think the talent pool is dwindling, look at 2005, we had Martin Treux Jr, Carl Edwards, Reed Sorenson, and Denny Hamlin.

In 2006 the Talent Pool included Mark McFarland, Todd Kluever, Danny O'Quinn, and Joel Kauffman.

so yeah, we haven't been able to recover from that since, And frankly of all the current young non-cuppies only two really have the talent to drive up front in cup (Ty Dillon and Kyle Larson) , neither of whom a really ready to though.

Only two? Hmm. I see a few more. Add Austin Dillon to that list as well as Trevor Bayne. Who are they? The drivers who battled for the win last week! Who else do we have? Justin Allgaier. Given the right opportunity, he could do very well in Cup as well as Ryan Blaney, Jeb Burton and Darrell Wallace, Jr. once they get their chance...

Difference was Smith and Gilliland were driving inferior equipment. Smith is a decent racer now and Gilliland could have been had it not been for Yates rushing him in to the Cup series. Sauter wasn't really up and coming in 2006.

Gilliland won at Kentucky in 2006 driving what was a several year old start and park car, so he has talent. That said some drivers (Pastor Maldanado, John Love, JR Hildebrand, Olivier Panis) have one outstanding run.

I disagree on Panis and Maldonado. Panis was fast enough in 1997 that he gave Villeneuve cause for concern in his vastly superior Williams (which should've stomped the field anyway); hell, he would've won the Spanish GP that year if Eddie Irvine wasn't a tremendous douchebag.

Maldonado had several strong runs in 2012 besides his win; he was running 5th in Australia on the last lap, was on course for 4th at worse in Valencia, and looking at a podium at Singapore before the car broke down. Not to mention how he was on for 6th at Monaco with the crapbox 2011 Williams...

HELL NO on Austin Dillon He can't even drive a NWS car properly and is only doin well cause of equipment. Don't forget that Reagan Smith and AJ Allmendinger have done better in Pheonix equipment with out funding then DIllon did in a "4th RCR car"  Ty's gonna blow him out of the water!


Trevor wasn't mentioned cause he's sorta of  already a cup driver.


Allgaier probably not.


Jeb Burton is a maybe

Bubba Wallace Could do well if given the right equipment (That is highly likely)

HA! It doesn't matter how well they do. As long as they're competent, they're guaranteed to rise through the ranks because of their last names. Same thing goes for the Dillon brothers.

Whether Ryan Blaney and Jeb Burton are sons of previous generation NASCAR drivers or not, they're proving that they're legitimate drivers. Not to mention, the Dillon brothers aren't too bad themselves. They usually finish near the front every week and don't wreck, which was something that Steven Wallace had trouble doing.

Explain Steven Wallace and Jeffery Earnhardt then or how about Jared Johnson? I sure don't see them being handed deals in droves.


Better yet, tell me how Ricky Stenhouse went through the ranks when his name isn't Earnhardt, Dillon, Burton or Blaney?

Maldonado just doesn't know how to pass cars half the time without wrecking.

As for the Nationwide guys, even if one wrecks a few times, it's still pretty damn hard to get attention when you get 7 or 8 Cup guys finishing in front of you.  And if you can't get that attention, nobody will care for you.  A good few years of talents got wasted, or at least not given an opportunity to grow properly, all because Kyle Busch, Kevin Harvick, Clint Bowyer, and gang wanted to run 20-30 Busch/Nationwide races a year for god knows what reason.

Rusty Wallace's team can only go so far (they barely got Steve to run the 2011 500 thanks to Penske) and Jeffrey Earnhardt is about the only case where you beat me. At least it seems that he's havng to work with poor equipment and to see how well he does each week. Stenhouse was given time to mature by Roush (one of the few developments he hasn't messed up) and here he is, replacing Matt Kenseth in his iconic #17.

Explain Steven Wallace and Jeffery Earnhardt then or how about Jared Johnson? I sure don't see them being handed deals in droves.


Better yet, tell me how Ricky Stenhouse went through the ranks when his name isn't Earnhardt, Dillon, Burton or Blaney?

Rusty Wallace's team can only go so far (they barely got Steve to run the 2011 500 thanks to Penske) and Jeffrey Earnhardt is about the only case where you beat me. At least it seems that he's havng to work with poor equipment and to see how well he does each week. Stenhouse was given time to mature by Roush (one of the few developments he hasn't messed up) and here he is, replacing Matt Kenseth in his iconic #17.[/quote]

Quite honestly, I find the whole "Last name = epic hax" argument stupid. By that logic, Richard Petty AND Dale Earnhardt would only be in NASCAR because of their names. Does that make their 276 combined wins, and 14 combined championships all attributed to their name?

And to further the argument that not all drivers with last names are gonna get to the top: Jason Jarrett, and Dustin Skinner. Neither of them did anything. Hell, you could even lump Justin Labonte into that category, yeah, he did win a Busch race at Chicago, but where'd he go afterwards?

The logic in this thread: Austin Dillon starts on pole? he only has that equipment because he's the grandson of Richard Childress. he doesn't deserve it

Oh, Jeb Burton won? he drove his ass off to win. He deserved it.

Regan Smith and A.J. Allmendinger give the #51 car top-15 finishes with out any form of a Sponsor. Dillon Brings in Tag Heuer money and piddles around in Danica Patrick territory for the same team.


That's why I think its the cars more then anything.

RACECARPYLrulzMaldonado just doesn't know how to pass cars half the time without wrecking.As for the Nationwide guys, even if one wrecks a few times, it's still pretty damn hard to get attention when you get 7 or 8 Cup guys finishing in front of you.  And if you can't get that attention, nobody will care for you.  A good few years of talents got wasted, or at least not given an opportunity to grow properly, all because Kyle Busch, Kevin Harvick, Clint Bowyer, and gang wanted to run 20-30 Busch/Nationwide races a year for god knows what reason.I can name you one: Ego. wrote:Sponsor being douches & not supporting the little guys..EX : Monster, stop supporting Kyle, start supporting Kligerman..

The driver who made the 43 can decided what happens to the number.

I can name you one: $$$ from Sponsors (FIXED)


So you are telling me they wouldn't do it if there wasn't money involved, that they wouldn't take pleasure in winning if it didn' have sponsorship dollars?

It's finch....You're expecting loops and bonds out of a car that's pretty crappy...and to be fair he's finished 6 laps down in that car twice for we all know it could've been a car problem.

@Bward: PKlig was being sarcastic

People love Jeb Burton, Ryan Blaney, Chase Eillott among others. But hate Dillon for no reason other then "hurrdurr their grandaddy gives them good cars to go race and they're pay driving meeniebutts." Again...It takes talent to wheel a car and win a championship. Townley was at RCR and was absolutely terrible...So how does Austin winning poles everyweek and contending for wins equal to him being a terrible driver?
