Nationwide teams still are waiting for a NASCAR decision on whether Sprint Cup drivers will be limited from participating in the series next year. Brad Keselowski is poised to become the fifth consecutive Cup driver to win the Nationwide title.
Nationwide team owner and ESPN analyst Rusty Wallace says NASCAR is deciding between three options:
1) Limit the number of Nationwide races that Cup drivers can enter;
2) allow Cup drivers to run the full series but not earn points;
3) alter the structure so that Cup drivers can’t earn as many points as Nationwide drivers.
“I just want the points system structured where Cup guys can’t win the title,” Wallace said. “If I didn’t have any involvement in the sport, I’d probably say the same thing. Because everyone I talk to all say that’s all (baloney), it’s not fair those Cup guys go in there to try to steal candy from the other cats. That’s the way the regular fan thinks. They say it all the time.”(USA Today)(11-6-2010)
