You know, the Nationwide Series put on a pretty good show last night. Some good hard racing without getting stupid and people wrecking each other. Perhaps the Cup boys will follow he Nationwide lead and give the fans a good hard, clean race.
Open Race Thread: NASCAR Sprint Cup Capital City 400 presented by Virginia is for Lovers
One bad thing about last night’s race is the realization that the only time Kurt Busch is going to visit victory lane this year will be in the Nationwide Series.
Martin has the pole in his MWR Toyota. Will we see a win tonight by a re surging MWR owned car? Or will we finally see Hendrick get his 200th win? I’m thinking Toyota is going to be in my answer between those two questions, however if the 88 car gets on a roll I think he might stand a chance of winning the race tonight.
Your thoughts?
Starting line-up is after the jump. See you on the other side!
