#2 Cup series drivers in lower tiered series

Will someone please kick Kyle Busch out of The Xfinity and Truck series.

If nothing else, NASCAR Monster Energy Cup Series drivers being able to race in lower tiered series is a bad idea and has really stunted the growth of a quite a few careers in the process. Of course, long-time drivers will say that they have a right to drive their own car and that the competition is good for the younger drivers, but not if they never win.

With that being said and Kyle Busch's propinquity for driving in The Xfinity and Gander Mountain Outdoor Truck Series, it's obvious that NASCAR needs to further limit drivers from pulling double duty. Again, it's not a perfect solution and will rob Cup driver of an opportunity to mix it up with the young guns, but it's not worth ruining the sport over.

In the end, drivers like Christopher Bell, Brett Moffit, Justin Allgaier and everyone else in the lower tiered series deserves time to progress. What they don't need, however, is to get outshined by The Kyle Busch show, which has already happened several times this season
