Nationwide Race Recap: Bayne Grabs First Career Victory in Texas
by Beth Lunkenheimer
Following an eventful morning that saw Kyle Busch parked for both the Nationwide and Sprint Cup races this weekend at the Texas Motor Speedway, the Nationwide Series took to the track for the O'Reilly Auto Parts Challenge.
And the Carl Edwards show ensued. the Cup points leader led four times for a race high 157 laps. But in the end, it was another Roush driver in one Trevor Bayne who took advantage of a restart with just seven laps remaining to score his first Nationwide Series victory in 77 starts, surpassing his previous best finish of third at Charlotte a couple weeks ago. Denny Hamlin, Edwards, Clint Bowyer and Brad Keselowski rounded out the top 5. Point leader Ricky Stenhouse, Jr. finished sixth, followed by Sam Hornish, Jr. Joey Logano, Elliott Sadler and Brian Vickers rounded out the top 10.
"This is just as surreal as the 500," said Bayne in victory lane. "That's hard to say, but this has been so long. We've worked so hard to get our first Nationwide win. These guys worked their butts off to get us here and God pulled us through."
"Man this is incredible. Normally you don't want a record for leading the least laps, but it's okay when you have a win at the end of it. We're really excited for this win and the fashion we were able to do it there at the end to race against Carl Edwards and Denny Hamlin, two of the best drivers and two of the best cars in the series." Bayne continued. "Carl drove me really, really clean there at the end. He did all he could to hold us off, I guess, and it was still really clean. I can't describe how this feels to get a win in the nationwide series finally and to do it with these guys and at a track like Texas--it means a lot to me."
In a race that featured just five cautions, two of which were for debris, the action included an 84 lap green flag run where all but 11 drivers were lapped before the second yellow flew. The biggest incident Saturday afternoon came when Jason Leffler got loose in turn 3 before bouncing off the wall in turn 4 to bring out the fifth and final caution, setting up the seven lap shootout that allowed Bayne to snag the win over Edwards.
"The restart, I was really happy Trevor was behind me and then he wasn't behind me anymore. I was really happy he was able to hold off the [No.] 18," Edwards said after the race. "Our Fastenal Mustang was good all day, but towards the end we didn't adjust our car as well which is just as much my fault as anyone's."
The victory clinched the Nationwide Series Manufacturers' Championship for Ford Racing. So far this season, Ford has 13 victories, the most for the manufacturer in the series since winning 16 times in 2002.
"We're thrilled to win the NASCAR Nationwide Manufacturers' Championship. Not only is it our first since 2002, but, more importantly, it's the first championship for Mustang in NASCAR," Jamie Allison, Director of Ford Racing said. "Mustang--as it has for 47 years--continues to be a force in all forms of racing. This has been a great year for Ford and Roush Fenway in Nationwide, with Carl, Ricky and Trevor all providing some great moments and 13 victories. Now, it would be great to add the driver's championship by Rick to this special year for Mustang and Ford."
With just two races remaining, Ricky Stenhouse, Jr. actually added two points to his lead over Elliott Sadler and takes a 17 point cushion into Phoenix next weekend. Justin Allgaier and Aric Almirola are tied for third, 99 points behind Stenhouse, with former title contender Reed Sorenson rounding out the top 5.

BREAKING: NASCAR Parks Kyle Busch For CWTS Incident; McDowell in No. 18 Sunday
by Amy Henderson
NASCAR announced on Saturday that Kyle Busch, driver of the No. 18 Toyota for Joe Gibbs Racing in both the Sprint Cup and Nationwide Series, was parked for both of those series' races following an incident in the WinStar World Casino 350K Truck Series race on Friday night at Texas Motor Speedway. Busch, who was driving his own Kyle Busch Motorsports truck in the race, intentionally wrecked Ron Hornaday under caution, prompting NASCAR to park him immediately for the remainder of the event.
The incident was triggered while Hornaday and Busch were racing for position on lap 14 and came up on a lapped truck. As the two went to the outside of the slower truck, Hornaday appeared to get loose and slid up the track, causing the No. 18 to also get loose and slap the wall. The caution flew, but the trucks had not yet slowed down when Busch drove up behind Hornaday and hit him several times before turning both trucks into the wall.
NASCAR President Mike Helton said that Busch crossed a line, even in the era of "boys have at it," and that the sanctioning body reacted with a penalty that was in line with the severity of the event. Helton told the media that NASCAR has said that they would know when they saw someone go to far under their tolerance, and "We saw it last night." Helton later went on to add, "The circumstances that we saw last night on the racetrack, we didn't take lightly what we saw or the responsibility for us to react to it. We take those responsibilities very seriously…on occasion you have an incident to take the responsibility, to take the additional step like we're talking about this morning, and it's not an easy step to take. It's not something we enjoy doing. It's not an action that we would want to do. But we take our responsibility to maintain control of the garage areas very seriously which led us to this action."
Joe Gibbs also spoke to the media on Saturday and made a statement on the incident. "We met this morning with NASCAR. They explained their situation, their decision. After that, sometimes in life you have to deal with some real tough things. This is a tough situation. Basically what we're trying to do is go through it the right way. Everybody here with our race team is trying to meet with everybody that was affected by this. Obviously we've got a lot of work to do there, a lot of people to see. But we're going to be trying to go through this, try and handle everything in the right way."
Gibbs did not rule out the possibility of internal penalties for Busch, and, when asked if he agreed with NASCAR's decision, he added, "I always trust NASCAR. I think they do a great job. They manage the series…I have great faith in the decisions they make."
Denny Hamlin drove Busch's Nationwide car to a second-place finish on Saturday. Michael McDowell will drive the No. 18 Cup car in the AAA Texas 500. McDowell's regular Cup ride in the No. 66 for HP Racing will be driven by Josh Wise.

Today's Featured Commentary
Kenny Wallace Embodies the Sport In All the Right Ways
by Amy Henderson
When Kenny Wallace took the green flag on Saturday in the O'Reilly Auto parts Challenge, he made Nationwide Series history with his 520th race start, the most in the series for any driver. All told, Wallace has nearly 900 NASCAR national touring races under his belt. He has nine wins in the Nationwide ranks and was the 1989 Rookie of the Year. He's also one of two drivers to win the series Most Popular Diver award three times, a testament to his outgoing personality.
Wallace is also the perfect ambassador for NASCAR in a day and age of drivers who are often considered by fans too vanilla or too arrogant or sometimes. Wallace is neither. As the co-host of Race Day, SPEED TV's pre-race program, Wallace is outgoing and engaging. He gets the fans excited about…well, everything. If you need a good laugh on a lousy day, see if you can get Wallace to do the "string dance" and just try not to laugh. Wallace is a straight shooter; he tells it like he sees it, with no punches pulled. If he tells you something, you can take it at face value.
But don't let the TV persona fool you; Wallace is a fierce competitor on the racetrack. He's a racer first, and this year has rejuvenated the 48-year-old Missouri native. After three seasons of making the best of the low-tier equipment at Jay Robinson Racing, Wallace came to RAB Racing at the start of 2011, and team and driver immediately saw results. In 66 races prior to 2011, the team had a single top 10 finish (a win by road course specialist Boris Said at Montreal).
In 2011, they have 11 top 10s with Wallace in 32 races. Wallace has finished outside the top 20 just five times and has wrecked out of just a single race, at Bristol, and even that was not of his doing. Many of the other drivers in the top 10 in driver points can't make that claim, and they're running successfully on a budget that Wallace estimates to be on the very low end, especially among the teams whose drivers are in the top 10 in points. For Wallace, this year has seemed like a rebirth, and he's helped bring RAB Racing to the next level.
On a Saturday that was dominated by the news of a driver being parked for rough driving, Wallace spoke with the media about his accomplishment. "I'm very grateful to have come out of Arnold, Missouri, and if you would have told me that you can make a living in NASCAR and that's all you're going to do-I mean, I've made a living driving a race car my whole life and it looks like I will retire racing cars for a living. That's the perspective I can personally put it into. I'm thrilled to death. I'm grateful to all the car owners who have given me rides, he said."
Wallace isn't arrogant. He doesn't fly to the races on a private plane or live an opulent lifestyle; in many ways, he's still the kid from Arnold-the one his wife Kim fell in love with in high school, the one who loves nothing more than watching his hometown St. Louis Cardinals play baseball. (St. Louis pitcher Arthur Rhodes surprised Wallace in the media center.)
If you want a driver who is truly good for the sport, Kenny Wallace is a shining example. He's humble and kind, but also honest. He treats fans who he meets for five minutes as if he's known them his whole life, not because it's good PR or because his sponsor makes him, but because that's the kind of person he is. He understands and appreciates the media, the fans, and the hard work of the race teams. He's a sponsor's dream as well as an owner's. He won't bring home a torn-up racecar, but he will most certainly bring home the best finish the car is capable of on any given week. In a week when drivers were in the spotlight for doing the wrong thing, Wallace was in it for the right thing…a history-making career and for being just what the sport needs in a driver.
