And thanks to NASCAR’s (see Brian “Frenchie” France) new rule that forces drivers to pick only one series to receive points from, Bayne get’s 0 points for winning the sports biggest race. Why? He didn’t have a full time ride in Sprint Cup, so he went with the Nationwide series where he did have a full season lined up. The new rule was supposed to help the less experienced drivers, but ended up burning Bayne. How crazy is it that the Daytona 500 winner is not eligible to earn any Sprint Cup points this entire season? I swear, Brian France is so shallow, sometimes he makes Obama look competent.
The Rule of Unintended Consequences rears its ugly head.
