I have heard he's running 19 of the Nationwide races this year. Totally un-official though.

I'll bet BC's back in the car next week.

Krisiloff did nothing to help his cause today. Same with the Wallace kid. Another race, another wreck. Ruined Bliss' chance for a good run.

If you're going to run for rookie of the year, you have to run all the races.:shout:headbang

Isn't Krisiloff related to Tony George?

Krisiloff is Tony's nephew. Steve Krisiloff married Tony's sister (from what I understand).

While I'll be lax in critisizing Ganassi.

Not running a guy who is the only top ten finisher at daytona outside of Cup racing is INSANE!

Chuck, saying you want a winner, front runner, Put the resorces behind BC and GO!:thumb

Bryan finished 17th in the Fastenal Dodge #40 yesterday (3/22), 2 laps down, at Nashville. Kyle Krisiloff was 25th, 4 laps down in the Polaroid Dodge #41 team car. Bryan is now 24th (unofficially) in the driver points standings.

I know this thread was started a few weeks ago concerning an earlier race.

Thanks Marv, I was wondering what happened to him the last couple races. I felt bristol and nashville might be his race to showcase his talents, was it someones bad luck or just not his day?

You know, if you would pull the Cup guys out of the lineup ( they usually take 5 to 8 of the top ten spots), 17th equates to being near the top 10. I know from a financial standpoint (sponsors, attendance, TV viewers etc.) it's good to have cup drivers participate but, I don't believe they belong in a development series. Let the young talent have the glory. How much more money does NECKCAR need anyway?

For the record, there were 5 Cup regulars (Clint Bowyer, Carl Edwards, Denny Hamlin, David Reutiman, & Kyle Busch) finishing ahead of Bryan at Nashville.

I don't think it is so much the Cup "drivers" that tilt the playing field in Nationwide, but the Cup teams (Hendricks, Roush, Childress, etc.) with all their resources, i.e. money, that make it very difficult for the "have littles" to compete. Yeh, I know Bryan drives for Ganassi, but I believe the Chipster's cars are far from premier rides in NASCAR, his rep from other fringe series (:wink:O: ) notwithstanding.
