No more double up champs in NASCAR's top 3 series

     NASCAR offically announced tonight that each driver will only be able to compete points wise for one championship a season. This new policy puts a halt to Brad Keselowski, Carl Edwards, Kyle Busch, and Kevin Harvicks strong drives in the Nationwide series. The 2011 NASCAR Nationwide Series will offically only have a Nationwide ONLY driver as its champion.
 
     Kenny Wallace got his driver application earlier in the week, and released that his application contained at the top of the page a slot for him to check which championship to fight for, and you can only select one. No one saw this change as a suprise, since most fans, and NASCAR itself had mentioned many times that this was in the near future. On January 21st, NASCAR will have a competition conference, where they will announce any changes in the upcoming season of competition.
      More people are for the change, but a few are against it. Brad Keselowski was one of those against it. Brad took to his twitter earlier in the week and said sarcastically,"Needed a good laugh tonight after being ruled ineligible for both Shootout and NW championship in one loooong week. Thanks for the support!" Brad then retracted his comment, claiming he was suffering from the flu and needed some rest. Also, he said he had not been notifyed of the changes to the NASCAR rules as of Saturday. Keep in mind, NASCAR has made no offical announcement of this. It is to be announced on the 21st of January, but as of right now, this is a rumor that has been confirmed by many people close to NASCAR, except for the head of NASCAR itself, Brian France.
