Written By: Matt "Night" Rider

FORT WORTH, TX.- It was a great day to be a Nascar fan. Carl Edwards walked away with a big win in Nationwide competition today, while his former bitter rival Brad Keselowski (Pictured Left) locked up his first Nationwide Championship with a solid third place finish. This was a big day for not only Keselowki and his family, but also for his car owner Roger Penske. The long-time Indy Car owner now has his first Nascar Championship as a car owner.

Kyle Busch held off a hard-charging Keselowski, finishing the day in second place. Busch won the Camping World Truck race at Texas Motor Speedway on Friday night. Now the Nationwide Series looks to Phoenix Raceway. A new face will be waiting for the Nationwide racers when they get to Phoenix next Saturday, November 13th.

Alpine, CA. racer Cole Whitt (Pictured Right) is set to make his debut for Red Bull Racing. Whitt is currently fourth in the K&N East Series po with an average finish of 10.2 for Red Bull Racing. Whitt has made 10 starts in the K&N East Series, with three second place finishes at South Boston Speedway, Lime Rock Speedway, and Gresham Speedway. Before racing in the K&N East Series, Whitt raced for Red Bull in for the National Sprint Car Series (USAC). He is the 2009 Kokomo Speedway (Kokomo, IN.) Track Champion. Look for Whitt to make a big debut in his first race in the NASCAR Nationwide Series next Saturday, November 13th at Phoenix Raceway.
