Correct in Josh wrecking a ton of cars, his own and others. I don't think he's the greatest thing since sliced bread, and I don't think 3/4's of the guys in Cup should be there. What I do think is a problem is how is a 20 yr old fan of late models or sprint cars or midgets is supposed to follow the career of a 20 yr old driver when they all take off to go race NASCAR. I don't understand how a guy can race in a series, never win and be promoted to the next series. When it comes to any form of short track racing, everyone considers it an insult to stay at the same level for too long. Once they go to NASCAR, get a bad ride or raw deal, or get in over their heads, then get burned out or their supporters and families are broke and they completely disappear from all forms of racing. We have seen it time and time again. I don't want to see NASCAR fail, but it could be a blessing to the IRL and short track racing. I know there are exceptions to the rule, and if I was in this situation I would try it myself. I don't really blame the drivers, it's more so the current state of racing in America. I would love to see the IRL have drivers that I knew there history, and even who they were before they got to the IRL. I think a lot of people would get on the IRL as the fad of NASCAR burns out, and they have drivers they could recognize and know there names doing some good racing.
