Rules are Rules....period, if it's okay to break them, then why have them in the first place :confused:

I also happen to like Kurt Bush and hope he has a blast with his new car....;)

Dan, I'm sorry to have to disagree with you BUT, rules ARE rules. The majority of the troubles in our sport AND in our world today seem to stem from the fact that too many people feel that the rules are just a guideline to be manipulated as needed or they just don't apply to them.
Personally, I don't believe that Kurt Bush is going to be anything more that a picture and one line in the Dragster anyway. He certainly isn't going to help Sportsmen Racing!

Can maybe those of you in attendance jump up and down behind them during the interview so we can see you...

I did get a chuckle out a friends older sister who went to her class reunion this year and told me "did you know Tom Buschs' kids race?"

Think I'll offer Dale Jr. a couple of laps in my Cutlass if he will let me take some in his car.

Does anyone know the requirements to race in a cup race? Other than qualifying,tech,and having a boat load of money. Do you have to have raced in a lower classification first? Just wondering.

Plenty of seat time in other Nascar divisons, or other forms of racing, such as Indy car or GP, a reputation, connections w/Nascar, including a race career review by Nascar, also a car owner that is willing to put you in his equipment. That would be for starters, and I'm sure there's more qualifications as well before you could jump behind the wheel and run in a Sprint Cup event....Maybe someone else can add more....WJ
