It's a real shame that corporate America still doesn't know who Trevor Bayne is, and last year's Daytona 500 winner can't even attract enough sponsorship to race Nationwide full-time.

Would be great to see Gibbs steal him away and put him the 18/20 instead of Hamlin/Logano.

While I agree wholeheartedly with the first part of this post, Hamlin is doing "okay" in the 11 car, don't you think? Contender for the championship the the past 3 years and 18 wins just slightly above par.

However, Logano's results are are far from his "sliced bread" hype.

Logano is very middling. An example of Nationwide success not translating to Cup. Hamlin, on the otherhand, I'd chain to a contract.

Stenhouse victory in Texas. Menard second.

I realised that I forgot an important part of this post: I meant 18/20 Nationwide cars. It would have been a good gesture to replace any Cupper with Bayne for last night's race, be it Hamlin, Logano, Junior, Kahne or Menard... Bayne was running for driver points, none of the Cup drivers are.

My first assessment still stands... I'd like to see Gibbs steal Bayne from the Evil Empire at RFR by giving him a full ride in NNWS.

Although let's not forget that it would have been top 20 if it hadn't been for what turned out to be a pretty good strategy call. I have to say though that I'm reasonably impressed with her so far; okay she hasn't set the world alight but she's starting to put in some consistent performances, and it's not like there isn't a track record of single-seater drivers struggling to adapt. Has anyone else noticed though that she seems either unwilling or unable to race on the high side? Every race I've seen she's stuck to the inside even if it clearly isn't the fastest line.

Totally agree with the commenst about Bayne though. It's a joke that a driver that is running for the championship is being overlooked in favour of cup drivers. Obviously it won't happen but I'd like to see him take a gamble and go knocking on KBM's door. They look like they could do with having a full time driver to do some proper development rather than playing musical chairs every race.
