To take tires or not to take tires, that is often the question that crew chiefs in the NASCAR world face. Last Friday night in the Nationwide race at Charlotte that's what ended up determining the winner of the event.
Kyle Busch was doing what he does best, dominating, and looked to be on his way to his 13th win of the 2010 season. As the race drew to a close Busch brought his No. 18 Toyota down pit road for four fresh tires, which were expected to keep him as fast, if not make him faster than what he was already blistering the track with.
Point leader Brad Keselowski didn't take tires and ended up beating Busch to the checkered flag. It was one of the rare occasions where four old tires beat four fresh tires. Busch was locked out of victory lane, which would happen the next night as well in the Sprint Cup Series. Sometimes the best car just doesn't win and Busch was the driver experiencing that defeat in Charlotte.
But ...
What if Brad Keselowski & Kyle Busch pitted for tires on same lap (having equal tires instead of BK on older). Would Keselowski still won?
@cody_rose HAHAHA Kyle Busch and Brad K matched evenly, KB wins hands down, no contest. Only person who beats Kyle Busch is Kyle Busch
@Timedwar Yes brad is just that much better
@smokinace88 Yes I Think Brad Keselowski had the best car after all is said and done
@StrokerAce90 I would say yes, BK still would have won.
