Question by Nitro39: Should Sprint Cup Series drivers have a limited schedule in the Nationwide Series?
Seriously, when was the last time an NNS-exclusive driver won the championship?

Answer by NASCARFan4Life
NO, Cup drivers will NOT have a limited schedule in the Nationwide Series because all they do is DOMINATE. From now on, NNS will become a developmental series, especially Danica because she needs more seat time.
Martin Truex Jr. was the last NNS-exculsive driver to have won the championship; the year was in 2005.

Brian Vickers a couple of yrs ago. I think 2004
It’s ridiculous, considering the Nationwide series used to be a training ground for new talent. Now these young kids are getting out-qualified every week by more experienced Cup drivers with nearly unlimited resources.
I think there should be limits, but Cup drivers do sell more tickets at Nationwide races. Without them the Nationwide series might dry up and blow away.
They’re damned if they do and damned if they don’t. Perhaps Cup drivers should forfeit the prize money so the teams that really need it can continue to improve (or at least survive).
No..
I love seeing my driver run ntnwd, but you’re right, they do dominate it and it doesn’t seem too fair to the up and comers.
Maybe NASCAR should limit to 2 or so cup drivers per race (to keep fans interested in it ) and alternate those drivers so its not the same ones all the time.
Yes they should limited to about 10 races if they are racing at the same track for that weekend
