Bobby, You could not have put it better. .....I'm sorry my friends,but this is a whole lot of whining and complaining about nothing. .......I made light of Buschs' plans on the .90 forum a month ago,and we all had a good laugh. ...........As of today neither Stock or SS is full, or SG..........I seriously doubt NHRA will be bumping anyone to make way for Busch to enter................The only thing I agree on is he should be in the Sportsman pits. ....Think of the spectator traffic that would generate!..............Don't doubt that NHRA will try to engineer a Marquis matchup for him 1st round ,ala Garlets /Fletcher at Indy. ......My 2 cents, Tom.

I was not whining ,just showing were he had actually tested his own car . I hope he gets serious with this deal and gets a car that could be competive.I'm not a Bush fan and by no means am i taking up for him. As Dan said in another post it could be anybody. Big Daddy had his little Day at the races in stock and that did not last long either. I like seeing new faces in this sport . Not trying to Bash anyone.

not sure all know who this Busch guy is . I know if i saw this person on the street i would not know who or what he looks like so who cares if he wants to race let him race if he can get in the race like everyone else

why not suggest NHRA eliminate pre-entry to national events. That's a good way to overcrowd the pits and classes!

Really? I thought we were "experiencing the worst recession in decades", "car counts are down", and "quotas still aren't full". I think NHRA has plenty of other policies that help keep the classes from overcrowding...

[Henry S]

I bet he gets pulled for the bye first round so that the "media" can show only him winning.

[Nitro Joe Jackson]

Here is my only take on this and I'm just looking at it as i tried to enter my parents (whom has 40 plus yrs tender at NHRA) at Rt 66 Nats the last 2 years but did not have enough grade points but i keep seeing and it was done at Rt 66 Nats last year a special deal making someone get in with 1 or none grade points. I have been on NHRA forever to have them make a wave deal for anybody that has been a card carrying member of NHRA for over 40 years they only have to have 1 grade point , these people are who has kept NHRA going through thick and thin and all I'm told is its not right to the new people starting out, but still we have this deal.
I for one have disliked all the Danica deal cause all the over rated hype and airtime she got in the last 3 nationwide races until she went out (thank goodness for that) and ESPN being the morons they are will botch up the TV deal with the Kurt deal.
But i wont be watching as i have not figured out how to only have car sounds and not the announcers as they........never mind I'll keep that to myself.
Bottom line if he races more power to him, but i see both sides of this deal.

BTW on the other Busch post on here, Marc brings up a great question and if it happens he is going by the rules, What if Kurt enters at Atlanta D2 event and there is his grade point since Gators are not filled as of yet. He could do it easy as Nascar is at Atlanta this weekend also.

Niiiiiiice one!

Chuck, the only rules they go by are whatever they want to do at the time. I think one of our good tech men threw the rule book at one of the chiefs at Indy a couple of years ago.
