Joey Logano won just his second race this year. It seems that every time Logano is in an event, it’s the other Gibbs powerhouse that takes the checkered. Joey led just 18 laps, but as they say, he lead the most important one. That win also helped Toyota to win it’s third straight Manufacturers Championship. Braun/Turner Motorsports. Rusty Wallace Inc., Joe Gibbs Racing, Germain Racing, and Diamond Waltrip Racing combined to give Toyota 15 wins, 62 top 5 finishes, 123 Top 10 finishes, and 15 poles in just 29 races this year.
Logano wins, Toyota clinches: The Kansas Lottery 300 Review
Every driver in the top 5 was a Cup Series regular, but 8 of the next 10 drivers are Nationwide only drivers. Trevor Bayne was officially eliminated from Championship contention due to the fact that Roush did not sign and enter Bayne into the Kansas race before the deadline. Bayne got no driver or owner points for the race. The same can be said for Parker Kligerman who was running in the top 15 before he got backed up into the wall. I was surprised that Nascar didn’t pull a “One time exemption” for Bayne since he was released from his contract and needed time to find another ride.

It was a real bad day for the brand new Turner Motorsports team as a battery problem put Reed Sorenson in 36th. Multiple problems spoiled James Buescher’s return to Nationwide, he finished 35th. Ricky Carmichael had a quite first Nationwide race where he finished 18th. The lone bright spot was the guy who’s racing for a job in 2011, Jason Leffler came home 10th.
Willie Allen missed the race and has fallen to 32nd in owner points now. Here’s the battle:
| 28 | Keller | 35 | 2,530 | |||
| 29 | Howard | 70 | 2,519 | |||
| 30 | Richardson | 23 | 2,515 | |||
| 31 | McDowell | 81 | 2,385 | |||
| 32 | Allen | 05 | 2,354 | |||
| 33 | McClure | 24 | 2,262 |
Brad Keselowski cannot clinch next week, but with just 6 races left to go, he would need to have a pretty catastrophic end to an otherwise almost spotless 2010.
Join us next week as the Nationwide Boys head to Fontana, CA for the Campingworld.com 300 from Auto Club Speedway. And, head on over to Campingworld.com to help show that sponsoring a Nationwide Race will help your bottom line. Enjoy!
