"Only" 58 cars tried to make the show at Talladega. Despite having 9 provisional starting spots a lot of series regulars got bumped out of the field. It's a shame to see hard-working guys like Mike Harmon, Darrell Basham, and Brad Smith miss these races where tons of Cup teams show up with their developmental drivers. If any series needs a "top 35" type rule it's ARCA, to protect the little guys that show up to all the races, including the short track and dirt track races.<BR/><BR/>Mr. Daly is right though this should be a very interesting race to watch on Speed tomorrow.stricklinfan82https://www.blogger.com/profile/01808897974344304657noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-5784361799881551252007-10-04T20:48:00.000-04:002007-10-04T20:48:00.000-04:00Vince:I thought this weekend IS a COT race?Am I mi...Vince:<BR/>I thought this weekend IS a COT race?<BR/>Am I mistaken?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-34907090947149158752007-10-04T20:04:00.000-04:002007-10-04T20:04:00.000-04:00Oh God!

I never cared for him much-wasn't real impressed with his "talent" as a driver, but had respect for him until he started in the booth. I almost hate watching the CUP races now<BR/>knowing he'll be on there. I love watching the trucks; Busch has gotten better, too. But Rusty and the Brent Musberger parts are driving me up a wall. Almost everyone I talk to grumbles about Rusty in north central Ohio. Even his longtime fans. How long is his contract for gosh sakes? Do we have to listen to him next year? Please tell me NO!!<BR/>Ps To the person who likes the draft tracker: it usually isn't even close to what really happened when Rusty gets done explaining it. Maybe that's why he only got one championship: he believes what he says!!! To hear Rusty talk, no driver EVER drives into a corner too hard (overdriving his tires)or ever does anything to screw up: it's always just 'aero-loose'. Does anyone else remember when he still drove?? He used that excuse then.<BR/>To whomever commented about shorter ARCA fields to qualify in for Franchitti? Good point.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-53554096059796747432007-10-04T19:40:00.000-04:002007-10-04T19:40:00.000-04:00great idea. look forward to your live comments pa...great idea. look forward to your live comments pages. keep up the good work.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-68023743090098391712007-10-04T19:15:00.000-04:002007-10-04T19:15:00.000-04:00To anonymous at at 5:11, if you like the Draft Tra...To anonymous at at 5:11, if you like the Draft Tracker you must be the only person in America that does!

As competitive as the Busch series is if there WAS a Busch race and there were more cars qualifying than there were spots available they might be in trouble trying to make the race. Much easier to make the field in the ARCA race. And the ARCA cars are almost identical to the Car of Today. I know they are going to Car of Tomorrow next year, but a majority of the races left this year are the "old" cars. I'm sure Dario, Jacques and Scott will be trying to make at least one Cup race before the season ends and will probably be doing that with the "old" style cars.Vincehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15530553847645526841noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-3297485255309947512007-10-04T14:23:00.000-04:002007-10-04T14:23:00.000-04:00This comment has been removed by the author.Vincehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15530553847645526841noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-45456399830918718882007-10-04T13:34:00.000-04:002007-10-04T13:34:00.000-04:00anon 8:51I'll take a run at this one:Dega is a hig...anon 8:51<BR/>I'll take a run at this one:<BR/>Dega is a high PR race and maybe has a better chance of qualifying in ARCA. <BR/>The Busch series isn't running this weekend.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-62742983277998130402007-10-04T08:51:00.000-04:002007-10-04T08:51:00.000-04:00My question is why would any responsible owner lik...My question is why would any responsible owner like Ganassi or whomever is bringing Villeneuvealong put them in ARCA cars instead of Busch cars??<BR/>The ARCA cars are faster ad less stable than cup cars and busch cars. I understand the argument about getting these guys seat time in cars with similar power to weight ratios as cup, BUT the ARCA cars are cup cars of "yesterday" and not COT! Combine that with the resentment that some of the "hand to mouth" budgeted ARCA regulars might have against these 'gentleman' racers, and its real possible....actually likely, that one or more of them are gonna end up upside down and on fire....or worse.<BR/>Its a bad planAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-46086912363998964052007-10-04T08:49:00.000-04:002007-10-04T08:49:00.000-04:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-16718577259877658922007-10-04T07:19:00.000-04:002007-10-04T07:19:00.000-04:00Sophiaz123I agree MRN is the only way to go, I hav...Sophiaz123<BR/>I agree MRN is the only way to go, I have my Bose radio and my remote at the ready to over ride dusty Rusty.
