Already a 2nd caution, and we haven't even reached Lap 10 yet.

Too Bad... Kyle missed it

I was about to jump off my seat in joy if he was in it.

EDIT: 2nd yellow and it's gonna be a long one.

ARCA manages not to have a caution on the first lap AND have five-wide without a wreck yet the Nationwide series couldn't take the first  lap without a wreck

Well that was a quick interview for Dexter Stacey.

Oh, Jeb Burton won? he drove his ass off to win. He deserved it.

People are just afraid of Austin taking the 3

Almirola has the 43, nobody cares.

Dillon bros have the 3, everybody is pissed.

Then again, anything with 43 on its car has been pretty much a mid-field team the past 30 or so years.  There is a generation or two of people who don't remember the Petty Blue #43 always competiting for wins.

Oh dear, That Quicken Loans commercial with Darrel Waltrip and Larry Mac was terrible. Who the hell thought that was a good idea?

Rain coming.

That's why I think its the cars more then anything.

Last year: 27 top tens in 33 races along with 2 wins and 3 poles.

This year: 7 top tens in 13 races with 4 poles.

Danica in 2010: zero top tens in 13 races

Danica in 2011: 3 top tens in 12 races

Danica in 2012: 4 top tens in 33 races and 1 pole at Daytona.

oh yeah, definitely Danica territory.

Mike Bliss spins, dude Johanna Long was so close to getting hit by him.

Statistically, Danica as finished ahead of him in 75% of Austins starts in cup this year.

Sam Hornish is smoking, looks like his day is done.

Brian Scott has a spontaneous self-detonation of his car.

IN A FINCH CAR...against SHR backing. Danica's doing terrible in top-tier equipment vs a pretty crappy car.

First off I realize I'm coming off a bit headstrong here. Sorry if I am,I am not meaning to.

Eric, Wouldn't you think if Dillon's in the #51 it would have some form of Childress support?

Caution out for more debris again, and Austin Dillon is the lucky dog.

This race! GO LARSON

Great save by MENARD!!

cuppies aren't leading wat?

Jesus Christ, Menard saved it.

Did you seriously had to do that, Logano? 

Dear god Logano is terrible.

Wow, that was pretty avoidable, Scott. 8 to go.

Holy crap a Nationwide race that's actually entertaining on a Cup track!

OMG DILLON HIT THE WALL, HE'S SO UNTALENTED HE HIT THE WALL HUEHUEHUEHUEHUE

Ok I need to clarify something.


When I am talking about my dislike of Austin Dillon, I am not saying he's talentless, I am saying he's very overrated. I am sorry if I came off the other way.

Good win Smith.

Smith wins!!!
Larson 2nd!!!
Great race...
THAT TOP 10

Good job Regan. That was a very awesome race.

Great win by Regan Smith, this in my opinion is perhaps the best race of the 2013 Nationwide Season so far. Really enjoyed it.

8.5/10

I was really pulling for Kyle Larson to win that, but Regan Smith just had the better of him. I feel bad for Austin Dillon though, 4 straight he's started from the pole and he hasn't been able to convert them to glory.

Pretty awesome race for Nationwide! Best of the year. That racing in the last half was insane.

Good win Regan! Held Larson off there in the end. Brad Sweet with a great run! Same with Piquet and Buescher

It has to be said, good job to all the drivers that saved their cars from wrecking. There were so many times that I was expecting a multi-car pile-up.

What is it with me and sleeping through Michigan. The truck race last year is the only full race I've seen.

Chris Buescher & Brad Sweet tied their career best finishes... (7th, 6th respectively)

At least I can now hope the Cup race won't disappoint either.

I got to meet Travis Pastrana the morning of the race in the Nationwide garage. It's not like he was going to win, but it was disappointing to see him wreck on lap 1, as well as Bowman. Having qualified so well, I really wanted to see if he could stay up front.

Anyone who thought that was a good race should've been in the stands! I'm so glad that I was there to see two non-cuppies (and two of my favorite!) racing for the win instead of Kyle Busch domination!
