Oh please, even as a 'second teir' series, the Nationwide series is still bigger then the IRL. Even at Texas which is usually exciting for IRL cars, their still isn't as much passing as we see at some of the most boring Nationwide races. One more thing, the IRL still doesn't do a GWC rule like NASCAR does, and that sucks for all the fans to not be able to see a race end under green.

Do you even watch the IRL or this race?
The Leaders were running 3 wide for about 10 laps in a row

Everyone in Busch is either on their way up or their way down. It is the AAA ball of NASCAR

GWC rules only cheat the real winner of the race. Race fans understand things happen. Wahat do you want next a Lucky Dog award?

Yes, I do normally watch the IRL races, and yes, I did watch this race.

Marco ran 3 wide on the top for a few laps and cleared them, other then that it was a pass here and their. It was definetly more exciting then the average Indy Car Race which is follow the leader for the most part, but still nothing near the average NASCAR race.

Cheating the winner out of the race? I'd lean closer to the winner being cheated into the win with the stupidity behind the rule. Fans pay money to watch a race. They pay money to watch a good finish, fans go to a race in hopes of having an exciting finish? Now is having cars wreck with 5 laps to go thus causing the leader at the time to win the race guarenteeing fans an exciting finish?

Lucky Dog? Well, I guess that could help with the problem of only 6 cars on the lead lap at the conclusion of half the races.
