How Do You Watch A NASCAR Busch Grand National Race?
Like Major League Baseball’s Triple A League, NASCAR’s Busch Grand National Division provides a highly competitive training arena for the future stars of the Winston Cup circuit. Watch for cars from GM and Ford. Remember that Chrysler is not active in BGN. No word if it’ll field a BGN team when the company re-enters Winston Cup. Note that BGN cars are “purpose built” – race cars with tube frames, roll cages and other safety features covered with sheet metal similar to the “stock” models. Check the lineup. GM’s Monte Carlo is the dominant entry. There are far fewer Pontiac Grand Prix and Ford Tauruses. Watch for up-and-coming stars like Casey Atwood, Buckshot Jones and Jeff Fuller. Check out drivers who prefer to stay active in BGN like Randy Lajoie, a former BGN series champion. Note that Winston Cup stars like Bobby Labonte, Mark Martin, Jeff Burton and Jeff Gordon enter BGN races occasionally. Remember that a BGN starting grid is set by qualifying sessions held before the race. Look
