Not to mention to many drivers are only there cause their daddy has money. So someone's daddy's money makes you be able to drive at 200 mph and maintain control So if you hit the lottery the you could drive that well

The owner should only have one car in the race, take the spotters off the top of the stands, take the radios out of the cars. Schedule pit stops why get put to the back of the pack because you did not put on all the lug nuts or run over a air hose. Get back to racing! JMO

Not necessary wetdog.
But let's take Paul Menards for example.
He has been in this level of NASCAR for many years and yet is not the caliber of driver that deserves the position.
He did not move up the ranks and earn his driver position.
He brought on sponsorship which got him the position. Taking a position away from someone else that deserves it. It's why the real competition was amongst just a few drivers. Giving us less desirable races.
Danica Patrick was another filling a spot she didn't deserve. She was marketable. That's why she got it.
Then you have the Dillion brothers. Grandpa has money but the boys are not competitive. More spots taking away from talent.
So there are great drivers out there that are poor at selling themselves and their talent, I'll buy that.

Don't forget those cars are set to only go left. You could push one around the track with a golf cart and no driver and they would track properly. Now...when they go to "The Glen" and have to drive up hill, down hill, turn left, turn right, that's driving.

As far as I know the only spots guaranteed are "Past Champions".
Everybody else has to qualify.
What you are trying to sell is that if Richard Childress didn't have grandchildren he would still field cars, we don't know that and NASCAR doesn't force anybody to be an owner.
Also, people aren't lining up to be car owners.

I don't get your argument Hobbie?
My point is some driver positions are being filled with not so talented but rich drivers.
This takes away from the competiveness of the race.
Filling your race with track fillers don't make a exciting race. No argument. I'm just pointing out that your assumption is that those rides would be there for "someone else" who may or may not make it at that level. Maybe, maybe not. BTW, Wetdog I believe that is Jeffery that Gibbs is taking a chance on, not Kerry.
