Although everyone will be watching the Nationwide Driver’s Championship today, it is the Owner’s Championship that deserves the closer look at. Sure Sadler still has a chance at winning the Driver’s Championship, but I think the Toronto Maple Leafs have a better chance of winning the Stanley Cup this year than Sadler does at winning the Championship. But I guess anything can happen, this is NASCAR after all - you just might get someone doing a Kyle Busch on Stenhouse early in the race giving the Championship to Sadler.

With that being said, the Owner’s Championship is tight, with only one point separating the 60 and 18 cars - that is just one position on the track! Granted if they do finished tied for points at the end of it, the Championship would go to the 60 car because it has more second place finishes. Each car has had a number of different drivers in them this season but driving them today will be Edwards (60) and Hamlin (18). It should prove to be an interesting race indeed, although I kind of wish Kyle Busch was in the 18 car just to see what would happen.
