Bottom post of the previous page:
Well first off, he'll have to progress up the license ladder in NASCAR, which means doing races now, before the end of this season, then he will have to finish a lower series event on a super speedway, which means either the Friday night truck race before the 500, or the ARCA race the week before.Nobody gets to skip this, even Danica had to do it and she was like a promotional gift horse given to NASCAR. Unlike Indycar, you can't just rock up, do 20 clean laps, and be granted a license, NASCAR has a rather strict licence system which up until last year, was far stricter than anything Indycar or F1 offered, which for a series born from rednecks wanting to transport booze from one side of the country to the other, is quiet surprising.
So erm, nope, when he gets told about this, along with having only two slots and having to do it on time alone, he decide against it, too much hassle for something he probably wouldn't even qualify for in a Levine Family park n start car (because nobody will give him a decent seat for a one off event).
This is just another one of those non-stories born from the necessity of someone having to fill a column and a lot of assumptions made because someone said "that's interesting", but of course it'll be breaking news on BBC and Sky next week as a result.
