This seems to be a hot topic on other NASCAR forums that I frequent. Mark has won 4 of 5 races he has competed in the BGN series this year. It would have been 5 for 5 if it weren't for a spinning out in front of him late in a race that Jeff Bruton captialized on and won a few weeks ago.
Everyone is getting tired of Mark dominating the field even though this is the last year he is going to race in BGN. Many feel Winston Cup drivers shouldn't be allowed to race in BGN or feel that there should be restrictions on the number of BGN races that they can participate in.
I don't agree. If I went to a BGN race I would want to see the best talent in the race as possible. Winston Cup drivers in BGN give us a gauge to measure BGN talent. Drivers like Mark Martin have taught young BGN a thing to two racing behind him. Sure these Winston Cup drivers send a few of the lesser BGN teams home but BGN drivers do the same to the Winston Cup drivers ocassionlly too. Like Adam Petty making the field for the Texas Winston Cup race when his father didn't.
What are your feelings on this?
