NASCAR Nationwide Series Royal Purple 300 | Auto Club Speedway Open Race Thread

It would be nice to see a Nationwide regular in victory lane today, and I think this track could produce such an event - but then again Kyle Busch and Mark Martin are running so it may be just wishful thinking on my part.

If you want a really good pre-race review I suggest you check out what Troy had to say.

Qualifying wasn’t quite done yet as I posted this so here is a complete entry list for today’s race (via nascar.com).

See you on the other side, in the comment area of course.
