Natiowide to Replace Busch in 2nd Series

It'e been reported that Nationwide is making a bid to take over what is now known as the NASCAR Busch Series.

Street & Smith's SportsBusiness Journal reported in the Daily that Nationwide submitted an offer last Thursday, as did Subway, the sandwich franchise operation that had been considered the frontrunner all summer.

Officials at NASCAR say that it does not have a deal with a new sponsor, but sources say an agreement with Nationwide could be finalized in the coming days.

Kyle Busch, Bristol, Officiating Errors

by Bruce Simmons

NASCAR has to develop a system that allows them to correct their own errors.

I'm watching the Bristol Busch race. During a series of pit stops, Kyle Busch got a commitment cone violation and served the penalty. This would seem to have taken the car out of contention of the win, and he might have had the winning car.

Some laps later, NASCAR came back and said they had made a mistake about the call.

I say that at the next yellow, or call a yellow, and they fix their error and put the car they penalized back in the spot they came from, or half the distance to the front (Kind a like football!) Half the distance meaning if they were 10th, and now 20th, they get put to 10th.

It ain't perfect, but when the officials make an error, they need to fix it.
