In two weeks, the Busch Series will be once again be in action in Memphis and in the Nextel Cup rookie in training Juan Montoya will make his Busch Series debut.
After a pure domanes by Kevin Harvick this season in the Busch Series and the number of Nextel Cup drivers doing double duty, what will the 2007 season bring for fans going beyond just the new television package including now that most of the Nextel Cup drivers will not be doing double duty anymore because the Cup car is going to the COT. Hopefully the Busch Series will create a totally new image that seperates them for the Cup Series starting with lower costs, new crate cars and beyond. Any thoughts?Press Release from CGR: Chip Ganassi Racing with Felix Sabates (CGRFS) announced today Juan Pablo Montoya will make his NASCAR debut on October 28 in the NASCAR Busch Series race at Memphis (Tenn.) Motorsports Park. Montoya will pilot the No. 42 Texaco/Havoline Dodge in his third stock car race since joining the organization.
Montoya competed in his first stock car event in the ARCA RE/MAX Series at Talladega Superspeedway on October 6, where he grabbed the outside pole on his way to finishing third. He ran in the ARCA Series finale at Iowa Speedway on Sunday where he started third and finished 24th. He led 12 laps before making contact with another competitor that sent him behind the wall for repairs.
Montoya tested a NEXTEL Cup car at the Memphis track last week, and is currently participating in his first official NASCAR sanctioned test at Homestead-Miami Speedway.

It would be nice to again see it as a developmental series as it once was. By developmental I mean in drivers, crews, and technology. They should also make rules limiting the number of races a Cup driver can participate in. For example, if you are a full-time Cup driver like Dale Jr then you can only run in 1/5 of the races in Busch.
Nice blog here, I will be adding it to my blogroll when I get a chance.
