NASCAR is considering changing its rules in the coming seasons to allow its premier series drivers to moonlight in the lower-tier national series more often, as the sport looks for the right balance between talent development and entertainment value.
…..
” … You look at all of our series and we’ve had limits on, ‘Could a Cup driver compete?’ ‘How many races could they compete?’ So we’ve certainly had discussions with The CW and in the Truck Series as well (about), ‘Does that rule as it stands now make the most sense to continue as it is? Do we tweak it?’ So we’re looking at a lot of things over the offseason and talking to a lot of the teams and drivers.”
"Maybe we have some more Cup drivers in the (Xfinity) Series, open up eligibility a little more."
