The Nationwide Series is on its own this week, which is a good thing as I don’t like the Cup guys poaching in this series. I think this race will be more enjoyable to watch than last week’s because there will be less Cup guys and it will be on a much shorter track where areodynamics don’t matter as much as they do at Indy.

Favorites to win? Hmm ... anyone that isn’t a Cup driver? Ha! Realistically, look for Sadler, Dillon, and Stenhouse to have good runs. I also expect to see Danica finishing in the top 10 when its all said and done.
Can’t wait to see those Cameros on the track. Too bad we won’t see those babies until next year!
