Poll doesn't mean enough in NASCAR races for teams to take risks to win it with this format.

Looks like busch is determined to win the nationwide and truck owners title. First he got hornish to sub in nationwide, now he puts eric jones in truck. Like the jones move alot..kid was solid in his 2 races last year. Would have liked to see bires kid nationwide as he showed promise last year in the few races he subbed for busch.

Solid is an understatement. Think he had half a dozen starts and all top 7 or 8 finishes, plus won one race. KBM truck team is one of the most exciting lineups for sure. With Kyle, Wallace Jr and this kid.

After a few years of bugger all new exciting young talent, apart from Logano really, we seem to be swamped suddenly.

Do you mean Kelly Bires?

Giving a point to the pole-winner would make a lot more sense than doling them out to whoever leads a lap during a race, which is one of the worse things with the current points system. If they have to give a point for leading a lap, they should at least require it to be done under green-flag racing.

The Jones kid is the real deal. I would take him over Kyle Larson in a stock car right now

I like him too. Kind of had his chance to move up 4 or 5 years ago and think it might have passed him by now though. He's 30 this year btw. Is why I asked if you meant Kelly when you said the Bires kid.
