My original intent for the word was to describe drivers who used their Winston Cup teams & resources to beat up on the other teams in the Busch series. I did not apply it to drivers such as Earnhardt, Michael Waltrip, Dale Jarrett, Jimmy Spencer, or other drivers in the Winston Cup Series that either drove in the Busch series for their own family owned teams that were separate from their Cup teams, or were driving for another team in the Busch series that was not related to their Cup series team.
The article asserts that Buschwhacking hinders the development of young drivers... but is that really the case? It seems to me that the Sprint Cup series has a steady stream of rookie drivers coming in every year. Check out the list of recent NASCAR Rookie of the Year candidates (which doesn't include Carl Edwards who essentially gave up his chance to be an official rookie.)
