What if Anyone Went From ARCA to Cup Again?

Other than Jeremy Mayfield being the most recent successful ARCA to Cup Starter with no other intermediary stops and with Tim Steele getting hurt during the Cup Test, thereby shorting out his racing career, which I still felt strongly to this day Tim Steele should have been more Jimmie Johnson than Jimmie Johnson if he wasn't injured.

The first part if we hired anyone on the circuit, we'd have to know if their work at the Short Track level held water. Not just the test for Ryan Gustin and walking back that ride because the Sponsor Check bounced, but, it would have to be a Johnny Appleseed like Mayfield was instead of Johnny Manziel on the Social Media.

I think, too, having to leave proper results and not just wins. And, the paint and the owner has to be caring about more than themselves at the Cup Level. If it is the bluest shade of Blueberry Bluebird Blue like Bob Senneker used to run, that is a good image.

Even though there is no promise of being elite, or successful, but, I think, too, the upside is they'd be more about racing than being a company man/woman. And, the downside, is not having the other series to break your fall. I don't think being rung happy just to be rung happy is a good image, especially if we have id'd the Stock Car Formula 1000 in the Southern Super Series and not just Super Late Models or Dirt Late Models. Other than everything rolling down, I think the other way is to see who'd be good with the racing and not necessarily the outsized Media Speciality or Other Trappings.
