Three OW’s in top ten but Cup Drivers bump Fike
It’s just not fair. It seems every week an up and coming driver is bumped from a Busch race because a Cup driver wanted more “practice.” Three Open Wheelers made up the top ten from a field that looks more like a Cup race than a Busch race. Aaron Fike missed the cut by two spots. Matt Kenseth is on the pole.
