Only Horn (and maybe Kyle Busch) could make the move he did to take the
lead. Too bad he got beat at his own game at the end. Horn admitted that
he spun his tires. When it happened I was screaming that Peters jumped
the restart.

John Wes Townley's backup car had Barberitos as the primary sponsor.

This should be considered the #2 series in NASCAR, not the Nationwide
series. Far more competitive rides, only two S&P's in this race compared
to 13 in the Nationwide Series, and much better racing.

Dennis Setzer makes his first non-start and park Truck series appearence
since Martinsville in the fall of 2010 and claims a top-20.

There's another reason why Peters was ahead of Hornaday at the S/F line
on that final restart, and that was that he was actually being pushed by
Johnny Sauter. Sauter actually pushed Peters across the S/F line ahead
of Hornaday on that final restart, and while Hornaday spun his tires, a
factor in him losiong the lead was the blocking that went on. Peters
blocked Sauter's move. Hornaday in turn tried to block Peters, and that
turned out to be his demise.

But again, James Buescher had the dominant truck, but his demise in this
race is exactly why NASCAR needs to find a way to get longer fuel runs
in the Cup and Nationwide Series, because Buescher ran his truck too
hard and abused either the right front tire or the brakes, which could
have caused a melted bead. Had he been a little more conservative on his
equipment, the crash would not have happened. Either way, his right
front blew entering turn one just when a caution came out for John Wes
Townley's spin at the head of the home stretch after 80 laps, and as a
series of green flag pit stops was beginning. But you likely won't see
blowouts from overuse, because they'll only be running 65-75 laps today
at Loudon before pit stops.

That blown tire likely cost Buescher the title.

This was my favorite race of the weekend, with the ARCA race at Iowa the
night before at a close second. I agree, this is the true #2 series in
NASCAR. It's actually possible for series regulars to win, plus this
year we have had a multiple drivers in victory lane, with 7 different
drivers in 8 races. Plus the start-and-parks are at a reasonable amount.
There never seems to be more than 5 S&P's in Trucks, but there's always
at least 7 in Nationwide. Maybe NASCAR will reduce the higher entry fees
they imposed on the Nationwide Series and/or increase the purses.

I wanted Hornaday to win, but I was perfectly fine with Peters getting
his 1st win of the season. His victory lane interview was really
touching, as he mentioned how he lost his dad 11 years ago this month
and how he's going to be a father himself very soon.

Justin Lofton and Ty Dillon are the only drivers within a full race of
Peters in the points. Also, the battle for 4th has closed up between
Buescher, Kligerman, and Crafton. A win for the latter two would be very
beneficial. Only 2 points separate 10th from 13th.
