It's becoming so predictable every time that Kyle Busch gets behind the wheel of a Camping World Truck Series vehicle, he's going to dominate and win. Before the last 5 years, the CWTS, was the series that many fans considered the most competitive and hardcore division of NASCAR.
However, when you put someone in superior equipment and he's got far more experience than the rest of the field he's going to steal the show away from the lower teams in the series. The fact is, NASCAR letting drivers like Busch and Brad Keselowski run the two lower divisions on a regular basis is going to bring the series to its knees. Being a social media regular, I see enough comments from fans about Busch's domination in the two lower divisions of the sport. If you aren't a fan of Busch, you are probably speaking up about it.
A few weeks ago at Dover, Trevor Bayne was right on Kyle Busch for the race win. Bayne hasn't won since Iowa last season and would have been in victory lane had it not been for the cup regular spoiling the show. Sprint Cup drivers racing amongst the regulars in Natonwide and Truck Series races aren't anything new but fans are finally speaking up about it more and more and they're not happy.
Last night I seen many comments from friends about the race being predictable and "why watch when you know who's going to win, unless someone wrecks Kyle Busch."
There is a need for cup drivers to run these two divisions, but in my opinion there needs to be a set limit on the amount of events that these drivers should be able to race if you have over 3 years experience of full-time Sprint Cup race. There should be 5-6 cup drivers per weekend and they shouldn't be racing more than 10 races a season. Let the drivers spread out the schedule like Mark Martin did back in the day; Martin only ran 10-13 races a season and most were set in the Southeastern part of the country due to his sponsor Winn Dixie being in those areas. Had Martin ran as many events as Busch did, he'd probably have double the wins but he only ran that small schedule each season.
After this season, NASCAR seriously needs to look at limits because they're not feeding their future with these guys, they're starving the newcomers from winning and getting more experience. Last weekend's race at Road America was a sight because a regular finally won a Nationwide event.
