Those who watch NASCAR have become accustomed through the years to seeing the top drivers regularly duck out of the top series to catch a Friday or Saturday race in one of the lesser series. However, beginning with the 2018 season the opportunities for drivers with Monster Energy Series experience to race in the lower-divisions will be reduced.
The moved which is aimed at keeping the lower-divisions more competitive will keep drivers with more than five years experience in the Monster Energy Series from racing in more than seven XFINITY races, down from 10 this year, and five Camping World Truck races, a decrease of two from 2017.

Additionally, those drivers with five or more years and who are earning championship points in the Monster Energy Series will not be allowed to compete in the regular season finales or playoffs of XFINITY or Camping World Truck Series. Overall the change seems to be the right move by NASCAR as they appear to be putting racer development and competition ahead of short term profit by having big name talent compete across all races.
