Ragan blacklisted from Atlanta, life

Well, apparently NASCAR isn't allowing Roush wunderkind David Ragan to race at Atlanta this weekend, publicly claiming something about the licensing process, though I don't see why they don't just admit that it has more to do with the fact that drivers dying with a month left to go in the Chase isn't great for business. Seriously, though: Jack Roush, what the fuck? The only time to get this kid on the track is during the Chase? You do realize that you yourself have two cars in it, right? Why not just enter him into a California or Vegas race if you need to get him out onto 1.5s? Seriously. Atlanta during the Chase? Right. It's not like you haven't had time to think this through, seeing how Mark Martin's been retiring for like three years. And sending the poor young fucker into Martinsville, where everyone knows the racing is vicious and mercenary? I'm still somewhat surprised that he wasn't beaten profoundly and for a sustained period of time by Kenny Schrader. With the rear clip from what was left of the 21. Worst part was, Ragan's still too young to have bought himself a beer after it was all over.
