NASCAR Nationwide Series races are often survival of the fittest affairs that are won by the racer who is able to survive the carnage on the track and come out on the other side with a car that’s still in tact and able to finish. Joey Logano was fortunate enough to survive the carnage on the track of the Auto Club Speedway Saturday in the Copart 300 and come out the other side of the adrenalin ride in one piece. Starting from the pole Logano was able to rally from being put into the wall by Greg Biffle while Biffle …read more

Tired of doing all the work the last few races, only to finish out of first place, Kyle Busch decided to take a different route to victory in Saturday’s Camping World RV Sales 200 at New Hampshire Motor Speedway in Loudon.

Saturday’s running of the NAPA Auto Parts 200 at Circuit Gilles Villeneuve in Montreal was an historic night for the Nationwide Series, and NASCAR in general. As the rainy weather crept its way onto the tracks, the race was red flagged, and for the first time ever in a NASCAR points race, the teams switched over to grooved tires to run the remainder of the race.
The rain was eventually stopped 26 laps short due to poor visibility, and in the end, it was Canadian native, Ron Fellows, out in front of the pack when the race was officially called. Throughout …read more
