    I thought that Hornish should have gotten a full time seat in the 22 car after last season-the team did too. Penske gave it to Logayno though. We can all see plainly how well that isn't working out.

    All the Hornish haters are wrong to use his first stint in Cup as an excuse. Hornish is a talented driver but just because you're experience in open wheel it doesn't mean you're experience in stock car racing. Penske miss handle his career and brought him up to cup way too soon. He has done a good job learning how to drive the heavier stock cars in his time in the Nationwide series and has earn the opportunity to drive in Sprint Cup. I like Algaier but I not sure he has shown enough to move up. He has done more than Larson but Larson has shown more natural talent in his short career. Algaier would probably do better next season than Larson but the upside for Larson is higher.

    There are *leaked* plans of Furniture Row Racing going to Ford next year with Hornish Jr to be the driver. It's gonna be a Penske satellite team.

    Anyway, I don't think Allgaier or Larson are ready, however, Larson is way more talented than Allgaier, so I think he'll do better.

    Allgaier woulda been Nationwide champ in '10, if the '11 rules had been around then, not sure about Hornish. He was Dances-With-Walls on Yahoo! someone said but maybe he's better now. He's a potential champ, though I'd rather Austin Dillon as champ. Speakin' of Austin, is he really Cup ready or not?

    Hornish already spent quite a bit of time in the Cup series. He wrecked enough cars that Penske bumped him back to the Nationwide series. He appears to have gotten much better at driving stock cars and could be a few months away from being Nationwide champion. Allgaier is decent enough, but whose car would he drive? All the good rides in the Cup series are taken.

    Lot of dipshits here don't seem to realize getting shoved into cup too fast is not a good thing for your career. Casey Atwood anyone? How about Dario Francitti? No? Didn't think so. Hornish is ready and has earned another shot at cup.

    That someone washes out of cup is no refllection on their driving skill, as proved by Dario's success when he moved back to open wheel.

    Or, maybe the retards are right and an Indy 500 champ just can't drive. I know better, and so do you.

    I think Allgaier deserves a shot in Cup. Hornish had his shot. Larson is very talented driver, but really what has he done in Nationwide that warrants giving him a ride in Cup. I really don't think he earned by winning so far.

    Justin is coming to the cup series, but I don't feel that he necessarily deserves it just yet. I don't expect to see much out of him in this series, but he very well could surprise myself, along with many others.

    As for Sam, I think he could be relevant in the cup series, assuming he got into a good ride, but I don't see any top tier team having much interest in him at the moment or in the near future.

    You're crazy if you think they are better than Kyle though; Kyle is one of those drivers who only come once in a blue moon. He will be a champion one day, no doubt.

    No way. Allgaier has been around forever and not really proven much. And Hornish was there for years and did nothing.
