NASCAR has approved Penske Racing's request to transfer the owner points from No. 2-Kurt Busch to No. 77-Sam Hornish Jr., a move that locks the three-time IndyCar Series champion into the first five races of next season. Hornish publicly thanked Busch for giving him the points at the Penske holiday party on Friday night. Bud Denker, senior vice president of Penske Corp., confirmed Saturday that the team would swap the points with NASCAR's approval.

Stupid move by NASCAR. You should earn your way into the races, not have them given to you. Hornish is sneaking in after proving nothing in a stock car.

This is why NASCAR needs to dump the past champions provisional. Penske wouldn't risk Busch missing the race, but Busch is assured of making the race with the PC Provisional.

More proof NASCAR needs to dump the top-35 rule.

Don't understand why this is allowed???? Sam should have to prove he is good enough to drive with the big boys. It shouldn't be handed to him!!!
