2013 STP 300 at Chicagoland Discussion (Nationwide)

[Dilla]

Man, Hornish is fast.

It was nice of Sam to speed and make the race more exciting and it should keep him more awake.

I hope no one spins Joey Logano, I'm hoping that many Nationwide regulars will be able to beat him on speed.

Yeah he will make up all that time he lost from the penalty. Yet what he did reminds me of Montoya at Indy, why even take the chance when you have the dominant car....

Because they are racers and are always looking to gain a little time.

Slow pit cost Sadler the lead

 

[Elio Lugaru]

Travis has no luck. :/

 

[evan07]

Smith spins

 

[Dilla]

Man, what a save by Mike Bliss!

 

[4WideRacing]

My reaction to Smith's spin:

“you will not win this championship, mark my word.” - Elliott Sadler

I'm fine with that. . . as long as Sadler doesn't win it, either.

 

[MillsLayne]

Well, that was a fun restart.

 

[Reno62793]

Wow Reed and that 40 team has no luck. 3 weeks, 3 blown engines.

 

[Dilla]

Well, at least he didn't dominate, I guess.

 

[Elio Lugaru]

Joey Logano wins the race.

Alright!

 

[Reno62793]

Typical. A weekend with one Sprint cup driver and he wins it. Another typical Nationwide race. At least there was some good racing!

 

[moppenheimer]

Even on an off week we have to see this crap...

Oh well... Good points for Sam.

 

[Deuce]

The only cup guy and he friggin won? What a joke.

 

[DBReaver35]

So having the 22 win the owners title is more important then maybe having the 12 win it and the drivers title? I know its hard to beat the 54 when Kyle is behind the wheel but still I think its crap on Penske's part.

 

[Dilla]

It's weird how apparently the owners' points is more than the driver's points in these types of situations. I know Penske "doesn't do team orders" after letting Briscoe win at Sonoma last year, but c'mon man, at least put Blaney in the car or something. . .

If Hornish loses the championship by like two points, would this victory have been worth it?

 

[Markfan]

I still don't understand how people think that having cup drivers entering a light series is so beneficial when the general reaction to them curbstomping the series to smitherines is effectively a giant "UGH".

Heck, technically 4 of the top 6 in the Nationwide points are ex-cup drivers with years of experience and the other 2 are likely getting cup rides within a year.
