Carl's 8th win of the season is a new record for him, beating his 2008
total. Its his first win in the fall Charlotte race. Its ironic that his
best season in this series comes in the one year when he isn't eligible
for the championship.

The #60 team has become the new #18 team of the Nationwide series, they
dominate races with ease and lead tons of laps and are always in the mix.

Even though the points are close, I don't think Sadler is going to play
catchup and win the championship. He just doesn't have the speed that
Stenhouse has. And if he does indeed lose, then you could likely point
to the race at IRP where he spun out battling Stenhouse for 2nd as the
race where he lost the championship.

A great charge with a damaged car gets Carl Edwards the win, but he owes
this win to the efforts of Trevor Bayne, and admitted so in victory
lane. Bayne finished third, but, at least according to Joey Logano, not
without a little controversy. Kyle Busch returned to his habitat, the
front of a NASCAR field, and finished second, while Elliott Sadler
chopped off a quater of his deficit with his fourth-place finish, with
Ricky Stenhouse, Jr. getting a series of bad restarts to go from a
contender for the win to a ninth-place finish. The much-maligned Brian
Scott rounded out the top five, while Brad Keselowski, who again had the
field covered, had a cut tire and spun out while trying to get to the
pits. Keselowski had to settle for sixth.

Now for the controversial incident between Bayne and Logano in which,
Bayne did absolutely nothing wrong in my opinion. Coming to nine laps to
go, Edwards got on Logano's outside and Bayne followed. Bayne came down
on Logano, taking the air off his car, and Logano crashed. Again, he did
absolutely nothing wrong, as drivers have been doing that for a couple
of decades now. But Logano was not happy about it, and claims that Bayne
has been racing him that way for a while. Whether or not he has is not
the issue here. Not only do I have a problem with Logano's comments
about what I claim is a fair racing move gone wrong, but what he said in
relation to the situation in relation to Bayne's on-track performance
with that of Ricky Stenhouse, Jr., and his comments about Bayne having
to prove himself thusly. Well this is the second absolutely ridiuclous
thing he's said about another driver. Remember, after getting wrecked by
Kevin Harvick at Pocono last year in an Earnhardt-esque move, Logano
made the comments about Harvick's wife wearing the firesuit of the family.

And by the way, Logano took the air off Bayne's car about 15 laps before
the incident when Bayne tried to pass him then. Certainly it was not as
forceful as what Bayne did to him, but with nine laps remaining, you
sometimes have to make moves you wouldn't ordinarily make, and Bayne's
move on Logano was certainly one of them. But Loganos's comments about
the way Bayne racedf him was like a boy crying over spilt milk. I think
Bayne is a very popular driver among the other drivers, and the comments
about Bayne tonight, along with the earlier comment about the Harvicks
that Logano made, is to me, beginning to make Logano a very unpopular
driver among the other competitors, who I think are beginning to get
tired of Logano's act.

If there's anyone that's feeling the pressure, it's Logano, and his
post-race antics when something goes wrong are only making things worse.
After all, Joey Logano is NEVER going to have a moment that unites the
entire sport like Bayne had in this year's Daytona 500, and Logano will
never be very popular if he make very many more comments like the ones
he made following the Nationwide race on 10/14/2011. He may even talk
himself right out of the sport if he continues.

I think the #18 team of 2008-2010 was more well rounded than the #60
team of 2011 and that's why they won more, but the #60 team is
definitely top notch and right now they are the best team in this
series. The #18 team still is the best on the short tracks and quirky
tracks like Darlington. The #60 team was better at Dover but Dover has
always been a Roush stronghold. To prove my point about the 18 team
being better on the non-intermediate tracks than the 60 team, 7 of
Kyle's 8 wins this year are non-intermediate wins. He won at Phoenix,
Bristol, Fontana(his only intermediate win and it was by a pit call),
Talladega, Darlington, Loudon, Bristol, and Richmond. 3 short track
wins, 2 1-mile flat track wins, 1 RP win, 1 intermediate win, and a win
at Darlington that is not like any other track.

Nice recovery by Paul Menard. Since Cup guys win these races anyway, I
was hoping Menard could pull one out. This just isn't KHI's year however.

Despite not a single Top 3 finish all season, Aric Almirola moves into a
career high 3rd in points. Unless he & Pops find some hidden horsepower
in the #88 car it's going to be tough to hold off Justin Allgaier for
that 3rd spot.

I said to myself when Brad was dominating, "The Las Vegas race seems
like a distant memory for the #22 team now." Sure enough a little while
later a tire failure ends his chances at what would have been a sure
victory.

And AlmirolaFan88, I believe a major factor in Steve Turner releasing
Reed Sorenson was that he didn't want Sorenson to be his top driver in
the point standings. He wanted that driver to be Allgaier all along, and
when it became obvious that Sorenson was going to be the top Turner
driver in the championship, Allgiaer wrecked him at Atlanta, then Turner
fires him a few weeks later. This all smells of conspiracy to me.

Nice run for Josh Wise despite hitting the wall in quals.

Stenhouse struggled on restarts, allowing Sadler to finish well ahead of
him.

Nice lead lap finish for Blake Koch. He's shown more speed since a
recent crew chief change. Timmy Hill is still slightly the more
impressive of the two rookies.

Hill's been involved in a grand total of two cautions all year. And one
of them was Kyle Busch's fault. If he keeps this up, he could have a
future Cup career with someone like TRG, or Tommy Baldwin.

Potatosalad48, it wasn't a tire problem that put Brad behind, it was a
cut tire. There is a difference between the two.

Cooper, I also mentioned Edwards' great charge in his damaged car to
take the win, with a BIG assist from Trevor Bayne on the last restart,
withouth which, he would not have won, admitting so in victory lane
afterwards. Bayne had a great late-race charge himself, which accroding
to Joey Logano, was not without controversy. Read post #3 (or post #30
in the Cup comments page) for the entire story behind that.

And Spen, I also mentioned the series of bad restarts that Stenhouse
had, making me almost wonder if had lost third gear late in the race.
Those bad restarts allowed Elliott Sadler to cut one quarter of his
points deficit (5 points) off, and now he trails Stenhouse by just 15
heading to Texas in three weeks. By the way, two consecutive off
weekends for a major NASCAR series is inexcuseable for this time of the
year. There should be an off weekend this time of the year for a
possible make-up date due to bad weather, but two in a row is inexcuseable.

And with Stenhouse's past in dealing with a championship battle
(remember the 2008 ARCA championhip battle with Scott Speed and how he
handled that), the pressure must be getting pretty high on Stenhouse,
especially since his future may be somewhat in question, due to Roush's
sponsorship problems with both his Cup (car #17 is not yet sponsored for
next year, and the #6 may be going away next year) and Nationwide
program (which might be totally going away next year).

And Spen, your comment about Timmy Hill being involoved in just two
caution periods this season is somewhat reminiscent of Terry Labonte's
1992 season in Cup. That year, despite being in a car that was well off
the pace that year, Labonte finished in the top ten in the standings,
because he was involved in zero caution periods that year, if I'm not
mistaken. That's right, Labonte was, if I'm not mistaken, not involved
in a single caution period that season.

One thing's for sure and that is that Elliott Sadler can thrive under
pressure, though he hasn't excelled under it. Remember, he's won two
qualifiers at Daytona and nearly won the 2009 Daytona 500 before being
passed by Matt Kenseth just seconds before the final caution fell for
Aric Almirola's spin on the backstretch. and he has two 500-mile race
wins in NASCAR's top series under his belt in 2004, the same year he
qualified for the Chase. He didn't do well in the Chase, but at least he
qualified for it once.

I did not see the finish of this race (I did watch, but just decided to
fall asleep because Brad K was dominating), but if Logano thought Bayne
did something wrong, it's safe to say he felt "violated" simply because
Bayne actually raced him, which is totally ridiculous.

Also, cjs, if Joey did indeed rip into Trevor for his Nationwide
performance this year compared to Stenhouse's, he should be the last
person to be talking. He is lagging BADLY behind KyBusch and Hamlin in
the CUP Series, and his CUP crew chief and CUP sponsor even considered
leaving him this year. So it's pretty silly for him to talk about a
Nationwide regular, with only a handful of Cup starts under his belt
that way.

I think Stenhouse all but has this year's championship locked up,
barring something unexpected happening. He consistently finishes ahead
of Sadler pretty much every week, although this race was an exception.

"And by the way, Logano took the air off Bayne's car about 15 laps
before the incident when Bayne tried to pass him then."

Big difference between the situation you're talking about and what Bayne
did to Logano. Bayne's pinch on Joey definitely earns the "cheap/dirty"
tag based on how tight he pinched him. Nobody in Cup or Nationwide runs
a car that tight without expecting the car below to have a huge issue.
Trevor doesn't exactly race smart very often, so it's not exactly
surprising.

If you wanna laugh, take note of every time Allgaier & Bayne are 3 wide
with somebody. 99% of the time, someone leaves the 3 wide with damage.

RCRandPenskeGuy, Logano definately did rip into Bayne for his Natiowide
performance this year in his post-race interview.

And The Truth, the combination of Bayne and Allgaier never have mixed
well on the track, dating at least back to a race last year at
Nashville, I believe, when Allgaier put Bayne into the fence, and Bayne
did likewise later on. The did get together again in Kansas just after a
restart, but that was after Bayne's crew had elected not to change
tires, and Bayne's car was all over the place. It just happened to be
Allgaier's car that Bayne ran into, but Bayne immediately apologized for
that incident. In fact, they were racing for ninth near the end of the
event, and Bayne got by Allgaier without incident. On the flipside,
Bayne who's still seeking his first NNS win, could've taken it three
abreast with Edwards and Kyle Busch on the last restart, but elected to
effectively push Edwards to the win instead.

And remember that Kevin Harvick was none to happy with the way Allgaier
was racing him at Chicago, a race that Allgaier went on to win. And
let's also not forget that Allgaier flat-out dumped Reed Sorenson, his
then-teammate at Atlanta, which took Sorenson out of the hunt for the
championship. And as it so happened, Bayne would being caught up in
that, as well, due to bad pit stops.

As for your comment about pulling down on the car you're racing being a
dirty move. How long have you been watching the sport, baecause that's
been going on for over 20 years now. Guys do that all the time,
especially late in a race. It only gets noticed when somebody crashes.
It's just a part of the game and every driver out there knows it. Had
there been more laps left in the race, I highly doubt he would have been
so aggressive with that move when he followed Carl Edwards by Logano.

And by the way, when cars are three abreast, no matter what three cars
it is, especially on a tight track, someone is ALWAYS going to wind up
with damage. That's just the way it is.

I've been watching the sport for 17 years and I always notice it.
There's pinching, and then there's REALLY pinching. It's not very often
that people pinch as hard as Bayne did to Logano last night. With the
way the aero is, that's a guaranteed wreck or near wreck, and every time
you see someone run somebody that low, you ALWAYS see either a wreck or
a near wreck. You usually see people giving more room, as was evident in
just about every battle on the track last night.

The Allgaier/Bayne thing is just two drivers not completely aware of
their surroundings. Remember when Kasey Kahne wallrode at Bristol?
Another example of Trevor Bayne on the bottom and Justin Allgaier in the
middle. Allgaier is a great example of a driver that, in my opinion, has
a much cleaner reputation than he actually drives. When Steve Wallace
makes similar mistakes, he gets absolutely railroaded. When Allgaier
makes those mistakes, most people just forget about it quickly like it
never happened. There are definitely many examples of Allgaier/Bayne 3
wide situations causing problems, and it's usually just out of lack of
awareness. Nothing intentional.

There's no doubt that Bayne caused that particular incident at Bristol
where Kahne rode the wall, and I think Bayne started to get a little
timid after that until recently. Who wouldn't? But Allgaier doesn't seem
to learn his lessons, as he continues to make drivers upset at him
(Harvick at Chicago and wrecking Sorenson, a teammate at Atlanta, which
involved Bayne as well). That seems to be why Penske released him, as
well as lack of sponsorship.

But I repeat my earlier comment that if you get three abreast on most
tracks, there going to be damage of some kind done, as you can't race
three abreast on all but the widest tracks.

Not necessarily. Watch Dale Jr's 3 abreast pass of both Hamlin and Busch
on the outside at Richmond from May 2008.

But Bronco, that is the rare exception, and that is because someone
usually gives. In that case, Hamlin was more than likely on the bottom
because he had a tire going down, so he probably moved over for Busch
and Earnhardt, Jr. to go by. The general rule is, that except on the
widest tracks, that running three abreast is mmuch more than likely,
going to end up in at least one car getting some damage.

Remember the comment that Neil Bonnett quoted during the 1992 Daytona
500. The quote, and I'm paraphrasing this quote, which was that two
abreast was going to be dicey, but three abreast is going to be a
certain wreck. This was mentioned during the caution for the big lap 92
crash that effectively ended the competition that day, as Davey Allison
led every green flag lap after that on his way to the easiest Daytona
500 win anyone has had in the last 25 years.

This race eliminates Jason Leffler from championship contention.

Elliott Sadler needs to gain 5 points per race on Stenhouse to tie, and
then one more to win the Championship.

Almirola, Allgaier and Sorenson are still mathematical longshots to win it.

And that's very doable, hyperacti, even without winning a race. All
Sadler has to do in finish fourth in all three races, and if Stenhouse
finishes ninth twice and tenth once, Sadler gets the title by one point,
despite not finishing higher than third in any race, if they get the
same number of bonus points in those three races.

And the question about Sorenson is, will he even stay in the top five?
He's currently 57 points ahead of Jason Leffler, and if he stays in the
#82 car, he may not be able to stay in the top five.

Making Kevin Harvick angry at you isn't very hard to do. Being on the
same track is a good start.

I haven't thought Justin was aggressive enough at times. Rarely do you
hear a driver whining about the #31, or lining up in the pits for a
fistfight. Maybe he has the Carl Edwards "aw, shucks" thing going on; I
don't know. I'm assuming he's more of the Ricky Rudd type, calm and
collected off the track, but when the helmet goes on, the horns come out.

Problem in Nationwide these days is that if you aren't aggressive, if
you just move over and let the Cup guy on your bumper pass, then you
lose that momentum and get passed by five more Cup guys, and you're
racing for fifteenth at best. Fifteenth isn't going to cut it, not for
the title and not for sponsors.

As for the Sorenson-Allgaier incident...I've read that Justin has a
close relationship with Steve Turner (or at least through James
Buescher), probably more personal than Reed Sorenson's. But with
sponsorship on the line for 2012, I can't see why Turner would release
Sorenson just to preserve a better finish for Justin in the points. The
prize money of the #32 finishing third would be worth more than a little
personal favor. And I can't see why Allgaier would wreck a team car on
purpose. If I were a car owner, and I wanted one driver doing better
than the other, I sure as hell wouldn't want one of my drivers crashing
the other out. The team works hard on every one of those cars.

I figured Sorenson's deal was more as follows: DG already had him out of
the #32 for five races to get Mark Martin in there. With only one win
this season (plus one for Martin), and a sponsor move likely anyway, why
not ask for a new driver to push the envelope for some late-season wins?
Vickers had run for DG when Braun was a Toyota team, and it wouldn't be
the first time a series regular got booted from the DG car (Burney Lamar
wasn't doing that badly when they removed him from the #33). And if such
a move, as a team owner, could convince DG not to leave...well then,
it's an easy business decision. Same deal with Great Clips...they're so
sold on having that Cup driver in there for a part of the schedule,
forcing Turner to run a fourth team so those drivers would have
somewhere to race when the Cup guy was behind the wheel. Only Allgaier
got a full season in the same car thus far, and that's because no
sponsor demanded otherwise.

I'm not saying that Allgaier wrecked Sorenson on purpose. I'm just
saying that the move Allgaier attempted on sorenson, while not as
idiotic as the one David Ragan made last night, wasn't far from it when
you consider that was a team car he wrecked. And from what I hear, that
isn't the first time that Allgaier's had a run-in with a teammate,
because he may have at one at Watkins glen earlier this year.

And let's remember that Turner isn't the only team that Dollar General
is leaving holding the bag at year's end. Let's not forget that just a
couple of weeks ago, Ed Carpenter won the IndyCar race at Kentucky
Speedway in a car sponsored by Dollar General, and they're also leaving
Sarah Fisher's IndyCar team, in spite of that win at Kentucky, so
they're leaving Fisher's IndyCar team the same way that they've left the
#32 NNS team at year's end.

Allgaier just seems to have problems getting along with other drivers,
even his own teammates, and that's no way to make a career, especially
at this point in his career. He might be able to get away with that if
he was a more established veteran, but not at this particular point in
his career. But Justin Allgaier is a very aggressive driver, which is
why I think he'll go far, but not if continues to make enemies on the
track, and he has made enemies, even among teammates.

Right. Someone forgot to tell Turner that Vickers hasn't won since 2003.
At this point I don't see where his talent level is that much better
than Sorenson's. It'll be interesting to see who drives the final 3
races. They could stick with Vickers and be content with Top 10's that
Reed would have gotten them anyways, try a younger driver, or another
Cup veteran.

LOL, very true. Harv seems like the kind of person who will get angry at
someone just because they happened to use the last of the toilet paper.
He has an even bigger chip on his shoulder than the Busch brothers, and
THAT's saying something.

Regarding Justin Allgaier, you guys are absolutely right that he has not
gotten off to the best start of making friends, and the reason he is
still in the Nationwide Series is because of that driving style. If
people felt he was ready for Cup, I think he would have gotten at the
very least, a chance at a part-time schedule by now (whether it be with
a lesser funded team or an established team). I like Justin, but I also
believe in fair judgement.

Carl Edwards picked up his career-high 8th NNS win of 2011 and the 37th
of his career. This is also the 2nd time in 7 seasons that he's reached
20 top 5's in a year. Of his 20 top 5's, 17 of them are top 2's.

Kyle Busch picked up his 17th top 5 in 20 NNS starts this year and his
12th top 2.

Trevor Bayne ties his best finish of the season in 3rd, his 4th top 5 of
the year but his first in 16 races. But it's his 3rd straight top 10
finish, his longest streak of the year (had top 10's in 4 straight
starts, last 2 before and first 2 after he sat out due to illness). It's
also his 12th top 10 of the year, a new career high.

After no top 5's in the previous 7 races, Elliott Sadler now has
back-to-back top 5's for the first time Richmond and Darlington back in
April/May. Sadler also won the $100k Dash 4 Cash award for being the
highest finishing of 4 eligible drivers.

After finishing no better than 8th in the first 27 races of the year,
Brian Scott now has top 5's in 2 of the last 4 races.

Brad Keselowski led a race-high 119 laps (has led over 100 laps in 3 of
the last 4 races, 460 total after leading just 380 in his first 22
starts of the year), but settled for 6th. However, it's his 100th career
top 10 in 165 series starts.

Justin Allgaier picked up his 4th top 10 in the last 6 races, but hasn't
had a top 5 in the last 7 races.

Paul Menard earned his 2nd pole in 7 starts this year and the 4th of his
career. Menard had top 10 finishes in all his starts this year (4 top
5's, 5.1 avg fin).

Ricky Stenhouse Jr.'s 22 laps led are his most in the last 9 races (led
25 in his Iowa win). Ricky's 23 top 10's this year are 2nd only to Roush
teammate Carl Edwards' 24.

Brian Vickers has finishes of 8th and 10th in his first 2 starts in the
#32 Turner car.

Blake Koch was the highest finishing rookie in the race in 18th, his 6th
top 20 finish of the season. The top 3 in the ROTY standings are now
separated by just 2 points, with Timmy Hill leading, Koch 1 and Ryan
Truex 2 points back.

Chase Miller making his first start in 2011 had a brutal crash during
qualifying when he got high and loose of the corner and turned it head
on into the wall in an effort of trying to save it from hitting the cars
on pit road. Chase, as you imagine, failed to qualify.
