Thread: Keselowski Wins Nationwide

It was a pretty good race at Richmond for the Nationwide Series Friday night. Brad Keselowski won, and he had the dominant car. This kid could really do well in Cup if he continues on this track. I'm just glad he beat Kyle Busch!

The one thing I don't understand is why they allow the big boys to race with the ones that are trying to get into the sport. I think that once you have won a sprint car race you shouldn't be playing with the newbies so that they have a chance.

I agree, it makes it harder for new people to get in. But if you think about it, it does in fact make sense. Because if you beat newbies, that's a lot different then the big boys, so you may be better than the newbies, but worse than the real racers.

It's been debated a lot, especially 3 years ago when I think the crossovers peaked. The big names draw people to the Nationwide series; they sell tickets. I do think they shouldn't allow them to race for the title; there's been talk about modifying that, but nothing as yet.
