Wypall 200 - Nationwide Series

The NASCAR Nationwide Series championship is also down to a 2-horse race between Ricky Stenhouse Jr. and Elliott Sadler. Can the reconfigured and repaved Phoenix International Raceway play a critical role in their battle?

And into turn 3...FAIL!

First lap happens exactly as some of the drivers predicted. There is simply not enough hands for a big enough facepalm to counter the amount of fail on that first lap.

Another fail was all the guys on the apron crawling and yet, they still pile into each other.

DJ Kennington.

The Castrol Kid has PRAWWBLEMS.

Wait, Hornaday is in the race?

Its not that, its just a surprise to see Hornaday is in a Nationwide car. Not that I'm complaining, just a surprise observation.

Steven Wallace and his entire hardware store takes out another driver.

Good Championship Stenhouse.

Reject of the Race - Jason Leffler

Leffler just took out Sadler, championship over. Jackass...

I thought Salder just lifted to early, but I guess not.

Nice move there, Leffler, you jackass.

I don't know about everyone else, but I was more concerned for Shepherd. He clobbered Leffler and Almirola. But I will say this, I have no idea what Leffler was thinking with dumping Sadler like he did.

Everything that just happened.

You know someone will loan Morgan an engine.

Hornish won a race? What is this I don't even-

Hornish winning his 1st ever race, never thought I would ever see this.

Hornish won? I'mokwiththis.jpg

Hell yeah!

Hell has frozen over as Sam Hornish Jr. has won the Wypall 200 at Phoenix!
(I will say that this was well deserved.)

Remainder of results to be posted later.

So glad Hornish won, just wish I could have seen the celebration and interviews... Absolutely hate ESPN and TSN.

Alright Hornish!

Pretty good race today, Liking the new configuration alot (Especially the Apron xD)

Cup will be interesting to say the least.

Good to see Hornish win. Much better than seeing a cup guy win.

If Sadler wins and leads the most laps, Stenhouse, with his 2 wins compared to Sadler's zero, would have to finish 37th or better to clinch, but seeing that they will be six start & parks before lap 20, Stenhouse would have to wreck on the first lap for to have the slightest bit of hope. In other words, Ricky Stenhouse is the 2011 NASCAR Nationwide Series champion. Thanks Jason Leffler.

If he pulls a Ricky Stenhouse, it's possible.

Are you referring to this?

DON'T RAGE. DON'T RAGE. DON'T RAGE.

Yes I'm mad because Sadler got blatantly taken out of a shot at the championship, but it makes me furious that Morgan Shepherd, having his best run of the season, was taken out as well. Nice job, Jason. I'm glad he doesn't have a ride next season...

Well deserved win for Sam. Glad to see him win.

I've said it many times before. Leffler is a no-talent a-clown. I can understand stinking up the joint when you are given a just freshly created 2nd car for a manufacturer that just entered the sport, and you had no real prior expeirence in a Cup car, but when you are given a ride for one of the top teams (even if that car was new), stink up the joint in that ride, and have your replacement promptly win poles and races in that same car, quite frankly, you suck.
