Certainly that is easier said than done, but JGR does hold an ever-so-slight advantage in the standings as the No. 18 Z-Line Designs / BJ’s Wholesale Club Toyota Camry holds a one-point margin over the No. 60 Ford team of Roush Fenway Racing entering this Saturday’s season finale.

Capturing the title this year would truly be a “team” effort as six different drivers piloted the No. 18 car at one race or another this season – Hamlin (two), Kyle Busch (20), Joe Logano (four), Kelly Bires (two), Michael McDowell (five) and Drew Herring (one).

A title this season would be similar to 2008, when the No. 20 car for JGR clinched the company’s first-ever Nationwide Series owner championship with Logano sharing the driving duties with Busch, Hamlin and former JGR driver Tony Stewart. One year later, Busch won the driver and owner titles for JGR in the No. 18 Z-Line Designs Toyota and followed that up in 2010 to give JGR another owner title as he and Brad Coleman split the driving duties in the No. 18 machine.

A fourth consecutive Nationwide Series owner title would make JGR the only team ever to accomplish the feat as it currently shares the record with Bill Baumgardner, who won consecutive series championships from 1995 through 1997 with drivers Johnny Benson (1995) and Randy LaJoie (1996-97).

Hamlin has had success at Homestead in the past as he won the Sprint Cup Series race at the 1.5-mile oval in 2009 and has three top-three finishes in six Sprint Cup starts. He’s been solid in Nationwide Series competition, as well, having finished seventh or better three times in five starts at Homestead.

And Hamlin would love nothing more than to score a victory at Homestead to build on a short yet impressive statistical year in Nationwide Series competition. He won in May at Richmond (Va.) International Raceway and scored runner-up results in May at Darlington (S.C.) Raceway and two weeks ago at Texas Motor Speedway in Fort Worth. He also finished seventh in March at Las Vegas Motor Speedway.

Denny Hamlin, Driver of the No. 18 Z-Line Designs / BJ’s Wholesale Club NASCAR Nationwide Series Toyota Camry:

Overall thoughts heading into Homestead?

“If we win the race, we win the owner championship and that’s our goal. I enjoy working with Jason (Ratcliff) and the Z-Line Designs guys. They build really good racecars and, even though Jason and I haven’t worked together all that much, our communication is pretty good. We’ve had success at Homestead in the Sprint Cup Series and have run well in the past in the Nationwide Series so, hopefully, we can have a good run and get the victory and owner title for Joe Gibbs Racing.”

How much does past experience and championships play into racing for the championship?

“I think the slates are kind of wiped clean. I just don’t know, when you’re on that racetrack, you’re kind of wiped clean. I just don’t know when you’re on that racetrack running a 300- or 400-mile race, where your past accomplishments have anything to do with that particular moment. I just feel like it’s about who performs the best on that given day. It’s not about your past accomplishments.”

Jason Ratcliff, Crew Chief of the No. 18 Z-Line Designs / BJ’s Wholesale Club NASCAR Nationwide Series Toyota Camry:

You have worked with Denny Hamlin in the past but don’t have a lot of experience with him. What is he like to work with?

“We’ve worked together a little bit in the past. Denny reminds me a lot of Tony Stewart, even though I only worked with Tony a couple of times. He reminds me a lot of Tony, especially in practice. He doesn’t get too worked up. He just kind of goes out and gets a feel for the car, makes slow, steady progress and then, in the race, it seems like he’s always got just a little bit more in his back pocket. During the race, if you can give him what he’s asking for and make some good adjustments and get that communication going, things are pretty good. It’s hard to evaluate communication because we haven’t worked together all that much, but I thought, at Texas, it went really well. Denny is as good as anybody, especially at Homestead. We’ve seen him run well there in the Sprint Cup Series. I’m excited about it.”

What are your thoughts on the owner championship?

“I’m excited just to have the opportunity. When we started the season, when we left the shop for Daytona, we weren’t even sure the 18 car was going to be running a full schedule. We were blessed with guys like Kelly Bires, Michael McDowell and Drew Herring, who brought some sponsorship dollars with them to where we were able to run all the races. So, just to have a shot at the owner title and being ahead going into the last race is a plus. We know going in that we need to win the race. That’s going to be our focus, no different than any other weekend.”

What are the challenges in setting up for Homestead?

“Really, what makes Homestead the most challenging is the progressive banking and the way you enter the corner. It doesn’t have the dogleg in the front like a lot of the 1.5-mile ovals so, visually, it looks a lot different. But, from a set-up standpoint, it’s difficult to get the car to be tight enough to get in the corner to make the driver comfortable and then keep it turning on exit at the same time. So, that’s usually the big compromise at Homestead – making sure the car is tight enough to get in the corner without making it too tight on exit. It can be tough and that track is unique. There is no other track on the circuit I can think of that is like Homestead. We’ve been good there in the past. The challenge this week will be to make sure our entry stays good.”

Denny Hamlin’s No. 18 Z-Line Designs / BJ’s Wholesale Club Toyota Camry

Chassis No. 18-135: This car’s debut came in September at Atlanta Motor Speedway, where Kyle Busch started third and led 31 of 195 laps en route to a second-place finish. Busch finished .697 of a second behind winner Carl Edwards. The only other start for Chassis No. 18-135 was in October at Charlotte (N.C.) Motor Speedway, where Busch started sixth and led 26 of 200 laps en route to a second-place finish.

In addition, Adam Stevens, who had previously served as the engineer for JGR’s Sprint Cup Series No. 20 Home Depot Toyota, will assume the crew chief duties on the team’s Nationwide Series No. 20 Toyota entry.

“We’re excited to finally have all this come together and we think the end result will be three strong entries for us each week in the Nationwide Series,” said JGR President J.D. Gibbs. “We think Kevin Kidd will work great with Brian and it’s always exciting to be able to provide an opportunity to someone internally like Adam Stevens who has done such a good job for us over on the Cup side.”

Joe Gibbs Racing announced in November that it would field a third Nationwide Series team to be driven by Brian Scott, but was still in the process of finalizing the details to obtain the No. 11 for the Camry. Kidd, who joined JGR as crew chief on the No. 20 Nationwide Series team will move over along with his crew to work with Brian and compete for the 2011 Championship.

Meanwhile Stevens will move over to the Nationwide Series program after serving as the engineer for JGR’s No. 20 Home Depot Toyota team for the past six years. Joey Logano is expected to run the majority of races in the No. 20 Camry once again in 2011 representing GameStop and Sport Clips. Pizza Ranch and Interstate Batteries will also return in 2011 and Denny Hamlin is expected to be behind the wheel for several races as the complete schedule for the team is still being finalized.

Jason Ratcliff will return as crew chief on JGR’s No. 18 Nationwide Series Toyota as the team seeks to defend its 2010 Nationwide Series Owner’s Championship. Kyle Busch, who shattered the Series record with 13 victories in 2010, will once again pilot the car in the majority of races with Z-Line Designs and NOS providing sponsorship.

Joe Gibbs Racing has won three Nationwide Series Owner’s Championships in a row and will be seeking a fourth in 2011. With Brian Scott solely focused on the Nationwide Series and driving the full schedule, the No. 11 team will have the opportunity to compete for both the driver’s and owner’s championship in 2011. Something the No. 18 team claimed in 2009.

The team clinched the win over Penske’s No. 22 Dodge team with a season ending victory by Kyle Busch at Miami-Homestead Speedway on Saturday, putting the No. 18 Toyota up by 71 points for the year and claiming it’s third straight championship.

“It was obviously a tremendous blessing for us to have the opportunity to win another owner’s championship with Kyle and Brad in the car this year. Both of them did an outstanding job,” said crew chief Jason Ratcliff.

Busch credited part-time teammate Brad Coleman for helping win the title.

“We wouldn’t be here tonight if Brad hadn’t done his job and given us some good finishes,” he said of Coleman, who drove six of the year’s 35 races while Busch was off Cup racing. “He did a great job and kept us in it.”

Coleman couldn’t hide his delight. “It’s really good to have a backup driver like Kyle Busch,” he said, grinning. “I wasn’t sure who was going to pick up the slack this season when I decided not to run a full schedule but Kyle stepped in and did the job!”

The Miami-Homestead media center erupted at Coleman’s funny comments.

Winning the owners’ championship was a big deal for everyone on the team, including team owners J. D. Gibbs and Joe Gibbs.

“It’s a huge deal for us because it lets the crew say, ‘We’re the best,’ ” said J.D. Gibbs, team president. “It’s gratifying to see the team appreciated for doing their job so well. It’s a testimonial to the guys back at the shop.”

Team owner Joe Gibbs was elated. “We’re thrilled. I really appreciate Jason Ratcliff, the team here, Brad Coleman and Safeway Driving Schools. I also want to say thanks to Combos, Interstate Batteries and NOS. It’s really hard to put together a team like that to allow us to race in the Nationwide Series. But with Kyle Busch and Z-Line, we really appreciate it. We’re thrilled to be a part of it. J.D. (Gibbs, Joe Gibbs Racing president) works mostly on the Nationwide side, and I take the credit for it. In any case, it’s a thrill for us and I appreciate it. And Toyota. I really want to make sure that the championship here and what they’ve done for us, we couldn’t be up here if it wasn’t for Toyota. I really appreciate them.”

The NASCAR Nationwide Series will be off until the 2011 season takes the green flag at Daytona in February and the No. 18 Joe Gibbs Racing Team will begin defense of their title.

Jason [Ratcliff, crew chief] and the guys prepared a great race car back at the shop along with all the chassis guys and body hangers and the engine group too that gave us a race car to come out here to put it up front. Qualified second to Joey [Logano] there and we came out here and we were able to prevail and get the job done. You know it was a heck of race there with Harvick there towards the end and battling back and forth with him a little bit I thought I messed up and gave the win away there for a minute but we were able to rally back on the next restart and get back by him and getting there to the checkered flag first. Really good day for us all around.

Can’t thank Jim and Monica Sexton enough from Z Line Designs and everybody that’s been fortunate enough to be a part of this program and help us win 30, 40 something races here in the last three years since 2008 of me coming aboard the Joe Gibbs Racing team. It wouldn’t be possible without these guys support to my right and Brad [Coleman] doing the job that he did as well this year in the races that I wasn’t able to attend and keeping us up there in the points so I could go out there and be where we are tonight, at least get Joe where he is tonight [smile].”

Event: Homestead-Miami Speedway (Round 35 of 35)

Series: NASCAR Nationwide Series

Location: Homestead-Miami Speedway (1.5-mile oval)

Start / Finish: 2nd / 1st (Running, completed 200 of 200 laps)

Winner: Kyle Busch of Joe Gibbs Racing (Toyota)

For the third straight year, Joe Gibbs Racing (JGR) won the NASCAR Nationwide Series owner’s championship. And for the third straight time, it was Kyle Busch who delivered the title.

The driver of the No. 18 Z-Line Designs / BJ’s Wholesale Club Toyota Camry for JGR did it in style too, winning the season-ending Ford 300 at Homestead-Miami Speedway to collect his record-breaking 13th Nationwide Series victory of 2010 and the 43rd of his career. It was another dominant drive, as Busch led seven times for a race-high 153 laps.

“Jason (Ratcliff, crew chief) and the guys prepared a great racecar back in the shop, along with all the chassis guys, the body hangers and the engine group too, that gave us a racecar to come out here and put up front,” said Busch, who ran just 29 of the series’ 35-race schedule, and despite yielding the seat of the No. 18 Toyota to JGR driver Brad Coleman in six races, still finished third in the driver’s points standings. “We qualified second to Joey (Logano, JGR teammate and driver of the No. 20 Toyota) and we were able to prevail and get the job done.”

JGR’s third straight Nationwide Series owner’s title puts the 19-year-old organization in rare company, for only the Bill Baumgardner-owned BACE Motorsports team won three consecutive Nationwide Series owner’s titles from 1995 through 1997 with drivers Johnny Benson (1995) and Randy LaJoie (1996 and 1997).

“It’s a huge deal for us,” said J.D. Gibbs, president of Joe Gibbs Racing. “We won our first owner’s championship two years ago. It’s just a testament to all the guys back in the shop. Even though we don’t have one driver in every race going for a driver’s championship, the owner’s title gives those guys just a notch for them to say, ‘Hey, we were the best this year. We prepared the cars the best, the motors, every aspect.’ It was really kind of gratifying to see our team really appreciate it and enjoy it. That probably meant the most – to watch those guys really make a big deal of it. That makes me feel good. It’s a big deal and all those guys are celebrating right now.”

“It was obviously a tremendous blessing for us to have the opportunity to win another owner’s championship with Kyle and Brad in the car this year. Both of them did an outstanding job,” added crew chief Jason Ratcliff. “It’s very gratifying to come into Homestead and have the kind of run that we had tonight. We were able to close the deal. The guys again, great job on pit road, and the mechanics that turned the wrenches on this car, they did a great job preparing it at the shop. Lot of effort went into this car this week, lot of studying, lot of notes, and it paid off for us in the end.”

The owner’s championship and victory continued a banner weekend for Busch, as he won Friday night’s NASCAR Camping World Truck Series race at Homestead and clinched the owner’s championship for his very own Kyle Busch Motorsports.

“This is a big deal for myself with what happened last night,” Busch said. “Being able to win the owner’s championship in our first year out in the Truck Series – yeah, it’s a stepping-stone division, but it’s still a big deal in what all we’ve gone through as a team. And to come out here tonight and work with Jason Ratcliff all this time, and to win as many races as we have this year and to do it in such a dominating fashion is impressive.”

“I think it’s pretty cool to have the opportunity to go out and race as many times as I’ve been able to race, and to win as often as I’ve been able to,” said Busch, who is currently second on the Nationwide Series all-time victory list, just five shy of Martin’s record of 48 wins. “It’s a great testament to the people that I’m surrounded with.”

Busch now has 86 victories across NASCAR’s top three divisions (Sprint Cup – 19; Nationwide – 43; Camping World Truck – 24).

Finishing .850 of a second behind Busch in the Ford 300’s runner-up spot was Kevin Harvick, while Brad Keselowski, Ricky Stenhouse Jr., and Trevor Bayne rounded out the top-five. Carl Edwards, Logano, Brendan Gaughan, Paul Menard and Jason Leffler comprised the remainder of the top-10.

The race featured 11 caution periods for 49 laps, with 12 failing to finish the 200-lap event.

The 2011 Nationwide Series season kicks off Feb. 19 at Daytona (Fla.) International Speedway with live coverage provided by ESPN2.

KYLE BUSCH, No. 18 Z-Line Designs Toyota Camry, Joe Gibbs Racing

Finishing Position: 1st

Can you describe what it means to you to earn your second win and owner’s championship this weekend at Homestead?

“You don’t right now. You just come out here and enjoy it. All of these guys from Joe Gibbs Racing, everybody from Z-Line Designs — Jim and Monica (Sexton, Z-Line Design owners) are here to help us celebrate. This Toyota was fast, man. I just can’t thank these guys enough. They do a great job at Joe Gibbs Racing — the chassis shop, the body shop, everybody. They put it all together for us in these last three seasons. It’s a shame to see this car go, but we’ve got a new priority here next year. It will be fun. It will be a new challenge for us. I can’t thank NOS Energy Drink enough, Combos, M&M’s, Interstate Batteries, Nationwide Insurance for a great series. This has been so much fun. It’s been cool to come out here and enjoy and celebrate with all of these guys. They deserve to celebrate as much as anybody. I can’t thank the fans enough of course.”

What happened on the last pass for the lead?

“It was a battle. Kevin (Harvick) was a great race tonight and he had a great race car. I just can’t thank these guys at Joe Gibbs Racing enough — the engine shop, the chassis, bodies, everybody that builds these race cars. All of the guys that are standing here behind me that come out here and pit these things. They do a wonderful job and they deserve to celebrate and they deserve to celebrate long and hard for this one. Being the owner’s champion is really special to us. That’s what we set out to do at the beginning of the year. A great race out there. (Kevin) Harvick was strong and I just got a good restart there on that last one. I had to work for it, it wasn’t easy. I started getting tight there at the end of the race, but I had just enough there to beat him out.”

Would you have thought you would win 13 races in 2010 at the beginning of this year?

“I would’ve said I wish. I thought eight or nine (wins) is doable, but 13 that’s really hard to do. I couldn’t do it without all of these guys. I’m going to be selfish and say that I wish we had 15, you know, because I feel that we could’ve won that many this year. We’ve had a few taken away from us, but it wasn’t due to lack of effort. These guys gave it their all. Now we can go to the banquet on Monday night and have a really good party with all of us on stage too.”

Do you think you win tomorrow’s Cup race and sweep all three races this weekend?

“The Cup car is pretty good. I like it. Dave (Rogers, crew chief) has done a really nice job. It’s just going to be all about
patience and coming through the heat of the day. We’re going to have a lot of sun out there tomorrow and it’s going to be hot and it’s going to be slick so you’ve got to have a car that definitely handles well at the beginning of the run, but one that definitely handles well at the end of the run as well.”

J.D. GIBBS, president, Joe Gibbs Racing

How much does it mean to your organization to win another owner’s championship?

“It’s a huge deal for us. You kind of look back, and we started it in the first year with Bobby Labonte. All we learned over the years was what not to do and what to do. Watching Kyle (Busch) and Jason (Ratcliff, crew chief) and those guys coming together, and Brad (Coleman) in there as well, it’s just a blessing for us.”

JOE GIBBS, team owner, Joe Gibbs Racing

How exciting is this for your organization to win its third straight owner’s championship?

“We’re thrilled. I think that’s been well documented. Our struggles the first years in Nationwide Series and how hard it was for us. I really appreciate Jason (Ratcliff, crew chief), the team here, Brad (Coleman) — Safeway Driving Schools. I also want to say thanks to Combos, Interstate Batteries and NOS. It’s really hard to put together a team like that to allow us to race in the Nationwide Series. But with Kyle (Busch), we really appreciate it. We’re thrilled to be a part of it. J.D. (Gibbs, Joe Gibbs Racing president) works mostly on the Nationwide side, and I take the credit for it. In any case, it’s a thrill for us and I appreciate it. One thing I left out front, too, is Toyota. I really want to make sure that the championship there and what they’ve done for us, we couldn’t be up here if it wasn’t for Toyota. I really appreciate them.”

JASON RATCLIFF, crew chief, No. 18 Z-Line Designs Toyota Camry, Joe Gibbs Racing

How exciting is it for your team to win another owner’s championship and end the season with a win?

“It was obviously a tremendous blessing for us to have the opportunity to be close to winning another owner’s championship with Kyle (Busch) and Brad (Coleman) this year in the car, both of them did an outstanding job. Last week, we felt like we had a pretty good — as far as the point’s lead goes last week — we had some trouble at Phoenix, kind of like we did last year. So it’s very gratifying to come into Homestead and have the kind of run that we had tonight. We were able to close the deal. The guys again did a great job on pit road. The guys, the mechanics that turned the wrench on this car, they did a great job preparing it at the shop. Lot of effort went into this car this week, lot of studying, lot of notes, and it paid off for us in the end.”

JOEY LOGANO, No. 20 GameStop / MASTIFF Toyota Camry, Joe Gibbs Racing

Finishing Position: 7th

How was your race today?

“We ran eighth or ninth all day. The car went from too loose and can’t drive the thing to being so tight that you can’t go
anywhere. We were at both ends of the spectrum today and didn’t go anywhere. It’s disappointing to end the season that way.”

What happened to take you out of the race?

“It looks like (Justin) Allgaier just lost it to me. I’ve been in a couple of his wrecks this year as far as the Nationwide side goes. I passed the 99 (Martin Truex Jr.) on entry and I was passing the 22 (Brad Keselowski) and I was on the inside so I went left. I wish I would’ve went right — I probably could’ve missed it. It was just a bad decision or the track was kind of blocked out. Our Great Clips car was fast and I think we were going forward. It’s just kind of discouraging that our race is over.”

Coleman’s final race of the 2010 season was a hard fought battle on a day filled with crashes and cautions throughout. He was able to avoid spinning cars and others problems to keep the car near the Top 10 for most of the race then finished strong to bring home the 8th position.

“It felt great to be back on the track and I am grateful to Shore Lodge in McCall, ID for the opportunity and to J.D. (Gibbs) and Steve (DeSouza) for putting me in the car and trusting me with our team lead,” said Coleman. “There is a lot of pressure coming in with all Kyle has done this season to put us up front and make sure I do all I can to protect the lead. I am hopeful we can work to complete the mission and win the championship. I know I couldn’t be teamed with anyone better than Kyle and Jason to get it done.”

The NASCAR Nationwide Series will be off next weekend before heading to Texas, Phoenix and Homestead for the final three events. Stay tuned as team leader Kyle Busch, Jason Ratcliff and Company try to seal the deal on the 2010 Owner’s Championship.

HUNTERSVILLE, N.C. (October 20, 2010) –

Coleman will be making his sixth start of the season in the Joe Gibbs Racing Nationwide Series No. 18 Toyota. In his five previous starts this season, Coleman has two top-10 and four top-15 finishes. Unfortunately his lone finish outside of the top 15 was this season’s first race at Gateway when he and teammate Matt DiBenedetto got together in a hard crash.

Coleman will seek to keep Joe Gibbs Racing’s lead in the NASCAR Nationwide Series Owner’s Championship race alive as he and teammate Kyle Busch have teamed to give the No. 18 Nationwide Toyota team a 119 point lead with just four races remaining. The No. 18 team captured both the driver and owner’s championship in 2009.

Gateway will also mark the first time that Shore Lodge will be on the No. 18 Toyota. Shore Lodge is a full-service all season boutique hotel located on the southern end of the beautiful Payette Lake in the heart of McCall, Idaho. Since 1948, Shore Lodge has been a premier family vacation destination for people who want to enjoy all the activities of the mountain west.

The Gateway 250 from Gateway International Raceway will be televised live by ESPN2 on Saturday, October 23 with coverage starting at 3 PM ET (race starts at 3:30 PM ET).

Brad Coleman, No. 18 Shore Lodge NASCAR Nationwide Series Toyota Camry at Gateway

Are you looking forward to getting back in the car at Gateway this weekend?

“I am. Obviously our last time out there in July didn’t go the way that we had hoped so I’m glad we get another chance to get in the car and improve on our performance. I like running at Gateway and since it’s not on the schedule for next year it will be neat to be part of this race. It’s cool to have Shore Lodge on the car Saturday and we plan on giving them a great run.”

The 18 team is once again contending for an owner’s championship, how does it feel to be part of those efforts this year?

“Everyone in our Nationwide operations at JGR does such a great job week in and week out and I’m just glad to be part of this team. Jason (Ratcliff) and all the team guys on the 18 are awesome and you have a lot of confidence as a driver to know you will have a great car each time you get behind the wheel. Obviously Kyle has been awesome setting the record this season for most wins and I’m happy to be part of chasing down another championship for JGR.”

Car  Information

Chassis No. 1880: Coleman will pilot chassis number 1880 on Saturday at Gateway. The car last ran at ORP in July with Kyle Busch behind the wheel. Busch steered it straight into Victory Lane with a dominating victory. Prior to that it ran at ORP in 2009 and despite having to start from the back of the field it was able to race to the front and lead 32 laps before earning a second-place finish.

DOLLAR GENERAL 300 NASCAR NATIONWIDE SERIES RACE

AT CHARLOTTE MOTOR SPEEDWAY, OCTOBER 15, 2010, PAGE 1.

· Kyle Busch led five times for 84 laps to earn WIX Filters Lap Leader of the Race honors in tonight’s Dollar General 300. Busch has now led 29 times in 24 races for a total of 1,959 laps. In 141 superspeedway races he has led 6,857 laps and a grand total of 9,196 laps in 199 career starts.

· Busch posted a sixth-place finish, his 23rd top-10 finish in 26 starts this season.

· Busch captured WIX Filters Lap Leader of the Race honors for the 16th time this season. UNOFFICIALLY he leads Joey Logano and Kevin Harvick by 13 races (16-3) in the overall WIX Filters Lap Leader standings.

· JASON RATCLIFF, CREW CHIEF, No. 18 Z-LINE DESIGNS TOYOTA: “We started good, obviously, led a lot of laps, but as the track changed and as it started cooling off we were keeping up with it decent and it just really got away from us in a hurry. We tried to make some adjustments and the adjustments didn’t react like we hoped they would. That’s part of learning this car. We made adjustments that we would have made with the other car that I think would have been the direction to go but with this car it wasn’t right. Either it wasn’t enough or it was the wrong adjustment, one or the other. We’re learning and I thought the start of the race it’s the best that we had been with the new car. The end of the race we were back to where we were. But it’s a building process and we’ll be better next time.”

Brian Scott

Joe Gibbs Racing President J.D. Gibbs said at Dover International Speedway on Sunday that Scott would fit nicely in his organization’s Nationwide Series program.

“I have a lot of respect for Brian,” Gibbs said. “I met him several years ago and have followed him since he’s been in the sport. I think he’s gifted. We’re just going to go to work and see if something works out. - Full Story by Lee Spencer at FOXSports.com

No. 20 GameStop Toyota Camry

Logano started the afternoon from the third-position, right behind road course specialists Marcos Ambrose and Jacques Villeneuve. Logano held his third-position for the race’s first seven laps until a restart where Logano got forced into the grass. When he returned to the track, Logano’s left front made contact with Villeneuve, forcing Logano to make a green-flag pit stop on lap 11 to clear the tire rub. A subsequent caution allowed the team to make multiple stops to fix the damage and fill the car full of fuel while staying on the lead lap.

The No. 20 GameStop Toyota fell all the way back to 30th following the stops before Logano started making a charge back to the front. Once Logano made his way back into the top-20, he had to pit again for four tires and to fix a little more damage on the nose of the machine. Soon after, just as Logano made his way back into the top-15, he reported the car was starting to lose voltage and switched to the back-up battery.

Despite the battery problem, Logano moved himself into the top-10, getting up to the eighth position. However, the battery continued to drain and the team was forced to change batteries on the next pit stop, losing a ton of track position in the process, but remaining on the lead lap.

A long green-flag run saw Logano climb from 19th to 13th, before the GameStop crew picked up three more spots on the final pit stop. During the final portion of the event, Logano was able to drive the No. 20 Toyota from 10th to his eventual sixth-place finish.

“It was a rough day to say the least. Things went from good to bad to good to bad all day long. I think we really made the best out of what was given to us. We had both mechanical problems and driver error out there today. I really screwed up there early in the race when I bent the left front fender in when I went off the track and that put us behind the eight-ball from there on out. It was just a mistake on my part and I feel like I let the team and my guys down. Without that problem, we might have been up front all day and not lost the track position we did early.

“The rest of the day, we just fought from behind. We had a battery problem there in the middle portion of the race when the alternator went out. That really cost us track position when we could have been up there battling with the leaders. There is nothing you can do about mechanical problems. We just did what we could and made up the ground that we could.

“I’m disappointed because once the race was over and I saw that (Marcos) Ambrose and (Carl) Edwards both fell out, I realized that we had a car that could have and should have competed for the win. We had the third-best car out there I think behind those two guys. So it stinks to not get out of it what we could have. That is how it goes in these Nationwide road course races.”

Kevin Kidd Quotes:

“When all was said and done, it was great to get a sixth-place finish with all of the stuff that we went through today. But that doesn’t make Joey or the guys feel any better, because we knew we had a much better car then that. Sometimes, you just have to play the hand that is dealt to you and that is what we did today. We got the most out of a bad day. In that sense, sixth-place was good. But we are never happy unless we are competing for the win.

“I’m not sure yet what happened that made the battery go dead. We’ll have to look at it come next week. Our teammate (the No. 18 car with Brad Coleman) had the same thing happen, so it might be some sort of part problem. We’ll look it over and make sure it doesn’t happen again. That really killed our track position and made us change our pit strategy. But Joey didn’t give up all day long and he fought his butt off to get a sixth out of it. We just wish we could have been up there contending for the win, because we knew we had the car and driver to do it.”

What’s Next:

The No. 20 GameStop Toyota will head to Atlanta Motor Speedway this coming Saturday for the Great Clips 300.

Circuit Gilles Villeneuve in Montreal – August 29, 2010

- Jacques Villeneuve (third-place) was the highest-finishing Toyota driver in Sunday’s NASCAR Nationwide Series (NNS)
race at Montreal’s Circuit Gilles Villeneuve — a race circuit named after his father.

- Camry drivers Joey Logano (sixth) and Trevor Bayne (10th) also had top-10 finishes at the 2.71-mile, 14-turn road course.

- Camry drivers Marcos Ambrose (25 laps), Robby Gordon (17 laps) and Villeneuve (one lap) combined to lead 43 of the
77 race laps. Gordon was leading the race when he ran out of fuel on lap 75.

- Other Toyota drivers in the field included Brad Coleman (12th), Gordon (14th), Jason Leffler (21st), Tayler Malsam
(23rd), Michael Annett (25th), Brendan Gaughan (27th), Patrick Carpentier (32nd), Marcos Ambrose (33rd), Steve
Wallace (38th) and Brian Scott (40th).

- Nine Toyota drivers are in the top-15 in the unofficial NNS driver points following Montreal – Busch (third), Wallace
(seventh), Bayne (eighth), Logano (ninth), Leffler (10th), Gaughan (11th), Annett (12th), Scott (13th) and Reed Sorenson
(14th).

Finished: 3rd

What was the difference between finishing first or third today?

“The car was quick enough. One lap to go I thought I had (Max) Papis — that was the one I was wanting to get because he was late on the brakes. I knew that Boris (Said) was braking a little bit earlier. I didn’t make it stick. Too bad because the car was running strong all race. The brakes lasted. It just wasn’t as good at the end of the race as it was early. That’s about it. We had a strong effort from the Dollar General team.”

What happened during the last few laps of the race?

“I drove hard. But, it was always tough in the first corner there because everybody was going a little bit bonsai. Max (Papis) is a driver that is quite aggressive. You always end up banging wheels with him. I’ve raced against him since 1989 in Formula 3 in Italy. We’ve known each other for a long time. I really wanted to get in front of him because I knew that Boris Said was going to be a little bit easier to overtake. I saw in the race he was braking early. Just didn’t make it stick.”

Are you happy with finishing third?

“It was fun. The beginning of the race was a little bit boring — the amount of caution. Once we got going it was fun. Today, I think Marcos Ambrose and ourselves with the Dollar General car were the two fastest cars out there. But, this race always happens in the last 10 laps anyway.”

What happened at the end of the race?

“If the race doesn’t have caution at the end and a green-white-checker — we win. And, it’s easy to say if you did this you should have done that, but with what happened to us in qualifying and starting last, we made our bed this morning. When the race started this morning, we had a plan — and we lived and died by it. It’s unfortunate we ran out of fuel. But, it’s also unfortunate the 38 (Jason Leffler) oiled down the race track.”

What obstacles did you face this weekend?

“We didn’t roll out of the trailer very good this weekend and we worked on it all weekend long. It’s kind of funny. Frank
Kerr (Marcos Ambrose’s crew chief) told me, ‘You guys aren’t that good.’ I said, ‘I don’t know, we’ll see.’ And, they were
faster than us — Marcos (Ambrose) was, but I was saving my brakes just riding along. You have to get to the end. Unfortunately, we got a green-white-checker and it cost us.”

What do you enjoy about the Montreal race?

“I love coming here. It’s a great town. Fun atmosphere race. Every time we come here we at least put ourselves in a position to win the race. Sometimes you beat yourself and sometimes you get beat. This time here maybe we beat ourselves because we shot for that lap number 74 number, and if that would have happened we were fine. How do you say it — if I go an eighth of a mile more, now we’ve taken the white flag, the caution comes out, we win. So many different scenarios.”

What happened to force you out of the race early?

“It was great. I want to thank NAPA and Michael Waltrip Racing. It took us all weekend to get up to speed and the car seems to be okay. Towards the end there, the last 10 laps, for some reason something was going wrong at the rear of the car. When I was going into the corners the back was leaning over too much, and the sway bar ended up braking. One of the brackets broke. The rear let go and I couldn’t drive the car any more. So, I had to come down pit lane. What a great weekend. It’s been sunny all weekend. We’re here at the races. I had a good time. Good finishes and I had fun.”

Did you have any brake problems?

“Funny enough – I mean my brakes were perfect. The pedal was still really hard. I was trying to be not too hard on them, but still keep it hard because it was giving me feedback and I could stop the car. They were smoking a lot. They were still really, really good. I was just kind of saving fuel. Staying in the same gears. Lifting really early. And who knows, this could have played out in our hands toward the end of the race, but we’ll never know.”

Finished: 33rd

What happened to put you out of the race?

“First of all, we had the fast car there. We were dominating early on. We just had an alternator or a battery lay down on us and the engine went into half RPM. I held the lead for a long time. I had to turn all the fans off for the brakes and the engine and me. We all got hot and damaged. Eventually, the motor got so bad we had to change the battery and then I broke something in the left front suspension.

How were you able to dominate early – was it the car or the driver?

“It really has got nothing to do with me. I’ve got a great team. We’ve really worked hard on our road course program. I’m not better than anyone else out there at the front – I’m just one of them. I’m just proud of my guys. We gave it our best. It hasn’t worked out, of course again. We gave it a great shot.”

Were you aware you had a serious problem?

“It was coming for awhile. The battery was dead. All the gauges went. The motor started to run at half-speed. We actually got the lead off Carl (Edwards) on half RPM — it was only revving about 6,000 RPM. We carried momentum. But,
unfortunately, we just couldn’t close it up.”

When do you start not liking Montreal?

“About now. It’s a great track. It’s a great city. Huge crowd. I love coming here. Just cause I’m not winning doesn’t mean I don’t have fun.”

Brad Coleman

Coleman’s last road course outing was at Road America in June where he won the WIX Filter laps leader award and posted a sixth place finish. Busch took the same car to Watkins Glen two weeks ago and finished fifth. The 22 year-old believes the No. 18 car will also do well at Montreal.

“We’ve consistently run up front at Montreal and had some great races go bad when we were bit by others’ tough luck,” said Coleman. “I finished Top 10 there in my rookie season after being knocked out of the Top 5. I was running in the Top 5 last year as well until another driver knocked us out of the race. With a little luck, I know we can contend for a win and keep the No. 18 up front in owners’ points. Besides, any time you race with Jason Ratcliff as your crew chief you have a chance to win.”

In addition to his strong runs at Montreal, Coleman has repeatedly proven his prowess on the road courses with a Top 5 at Watkins Glen his rookie year in a JGR machine and another Top 10 at Watkins Glen in a Baker Curb race car. He was running Top 10 at Mexico City twice, only to be taken out by a broken transmission on one run and spun out from behind by another driver late in the 2008 race. In all, Coleman has been a known factor in every single road course race he has run under the NASCAR banner.

“I am not a “Road course specialist” insists Coleman, but I am highly capable of running up front every time I set four wheels on one. Road courses take a technical know-how of driving that in my opinion only the best drivers have. Being a great driver in NASCAR requires you to run well at the road courses as well as the ovals. You can’t be a top level NASCAR driver and be afraid of either type of track. You need to be good at all of them!”

While this will only be Coleman’s fifth race of the season, he has made the most of his limited opportunity by consistently qualifying and racing up front. He has two finishes of sixth, one of 13th when he was running Top 5 late in the race and was collected on someone’s missed shift on a restart, and ran into more tough luck in his last race at St. Louis when he was collected in his own teammate’s misfortune.

Coleman and Jason Ratcliff have history at Montreal

In 2007, the rookie was at Montreal for his first look at the Circuit Gilles Villeneuve. He was running in the Top 5 towards the end of the race when the field exploded in turn one, taking a number of cars out. Coleman’s Joe Gibbs Racing No. 18 FedEx car was caught up in the melee and sat crumpled up in the pits with one lap to go. The team told him it was a great run but time to shut it down and call it a day.

“I’ll never forget that day,” noted Coleman. “We had a Top 5 run going, got caught up in someone else’s mess, and then came back to the pits with the hood folded up in half so I could not see. Jason (Ratcliff/Crew Chief) said it was a great run but we were done. I asked them to hammer on it and get me back out before the field came around. They did a great job and we went back out 13th as they dropped the green-white-checkered. It was a single file restart but I was able to pass five cars on the last lap to bring home a Top 10 finish.”

Coleman will be driving the No. 18 SafeWay Driving Centers Toyota. SafeWay is a Houston, TX based driving school where Texas teenagers go to train for their driver license.

Event: Food City 250 (Round 24 of 35)

Series: NASCAR Nationwide Series

Location: Bristol (Tenn.) Motor Speedway (.533-mile oval)

Start / Finish: 3rd / 1st (Running, completed 250 of 250 laps)

Winner: Kyle Busch of Joe Gibbs Racing (Toyota)

The two combatants were the class of the field, with Keselowski leading three times for 62 laps and Busch leading three times for a race-high 116 laps. Keselowski held the point from lap 162 to 218, but after doggedly pursuing the championship leader, Busch finally made his way past Keselowski in between turns one and two. But as soon as Busch’s No. 18 Z-Line Designs machine got in front of Keselowski on the backstretch, the nose of Keselowski’s Dodge nudged the rear bumper of Busch’s Toyota, sending Busch scraping along the wall. Busch never let off the throttle and quickly snuck in behind Keselowski as they entered turn three, and just before turn four, Busch reached Keselowski and nosed his Toyota into the back of Keselowski, sending him spinning, with the rear of Keselowski’s Dodge contacting the outside wall.

Busch motored on, and with the exception of two late-race restarts where he was briefly challenged by Elliott Sadler, Busch checked out to collect his second Nationwide Series win at Bristol.

“I raced and raced and raced him (Keselowski), I don’t know for 12, 15 laps, and my Z-Line Designs Camry was pretty awesome tonight,” said Busch, who is two for two this week at Bristol, as he won Wednesday night’s NASCAR Camping World Truck Series race at the .533-mile oval and has a chance to go three for three if he scores a win in Saturday night’s NASCAR Sprint Cup Series race. “I thought I had him cleared on the back and I moved up in front of him, and instead of him doing an Earnhardt crossover move he decided that he would just run into the back of me and put me in the fence. So, that’s Brad Keselowski. So, you know, I went down into the next corner and dumped him. He does it to everybody else. Why can’t I do it to him?”

“It was a pretty good race for us,” Busch said. “We had trouble in practice trying to get the car exactly the way I wanted it. We were close, but Jason (Ratcliff, crew chief) worked really hard with the guys to try and make sure that we had a winning car here tonight. We were swinging things at it all day. We came up with a good combination there for the race. It was a little too loose all night, but I kept trying to move my line around and try to find something that would work for me, and I was able to do that a little bit. Had good pit stops and just being able to keep our track position all night really helped us so we didn’t have to pass too much. Just getting up there at the end and being able to set sail when it mattered most and get to victory lane.

“I can’t thank Z-Line Designs enough and Jim and Monica Sexton – they’re awesome. It’s fun to come over here and race. I enjoy it, and of course it’s cool to put this 18 car in victory lane.”

Busch’s 116 laps led marked the 19th race where he’s led at least one lap this season. His 2010 laps-led tally stands at an impressive 1,492. The only race where he’s failed to lead a lap came last Saturday at Michigan International Speedway in Brooklyn, where he still finished third. Busch broke the series record for laps led in June at New Hampshire Motor Speedway in Loudon, where he led six times for a race-high 125 laps en route to the win. The previous record-holder was Martin with 8,082 laps led. With his win at Bristol, Busch pushed his laps-led total to 8,729.

Chassis No. 1861 – the car Busch used in Friday night’s win – is responsible for 1,049 of those laps. It is a workhorse that debuted in 2007 and in 16 career starts has notched eight victories – three at Auto Club Speedway in Fontana, Calif., two at Texas Motor Speedway in Fort Worth and one each at Kansas Speedway in Kansas City, Dover (Del.) International Speedway and Bristol.

“This car has won everywhere. This baby, it’s an awesome race car,” said Busch about the racecar that has won at every style of track except a road course and a restrictor-plate track.

Despite not running the full Nationwide Series schedule, Busch remained third in the championship standings, 434 points behind Keselowski. Busch sat out a string of standalone events in June at Nashville (Tenn.) Superspeedway, Kentucky Speedway in Sparta and Road America in Elkhart Lake, Wis., as well as the series’ July stop at Gateway International Raceway in Madison, Ill.

While Busch is not running the full Nationwide Series schedule, JGR’s No. 18 Toyota is competing for the owner’s title. It maintained its spot atop the standings, increasing its advantage to 73 points over the No. 22 car of Penske Racing. JGR has won the past two Nationwide Series owner’s championships.

Jason Leffler finished .798 of a second behind Busch in the runner-up spot, while Sadler, Dale Earnhardt Jr., and Carl Edwards rounded-out the top-five. Trevor Bayne finished sixth, with Clint Bowyer, Reed Sorenson, Parker Kligerman and Busch’s JGR teammate Joey Logano comprising the remainder of the top-10.

There were eight caution periods for 48 laps, with 11 drivers failing to finish.

The next event on the Nationwide Series schedule is the Aug. 29 NAPA Auto Parts 200 at Circuit Gilles Villeneuve road course in Montreal. Brad Coleman will pilot the No. 18 Toyota while Busch takes the weekend off. The race starts at 2:30 p.m. EDT with live coverage provided by ESPN beginning with its pre-race show at 2 p.m.

It was a little too loose all night but I kept trying to move my line around and try to find something that would work for me and I was able to do that a little bit. Good pit stop and just being able to keep our track position all night really helped us so we didn’t have to pass too much and then just getting up there at the end and being able to set sail when it mattered most and get to victory lane.”

DO YOU EXPECT THIS WILL JUST BE THE WAY YOU AND BRAD KESELOWSKI RACE EACH OTHER?

“Isn’t this the way Brad races everybody? I mean, really, it’s just the way it is. That’s why he got spun out. I pulled a slide job on ‘em off of Turn 2 and maybe I wasn’t clear but I was at one point and all he had to do was turn down to the bottom and try to do a crossover Earnhardt move and pass me in the next corner or even try to pull a slide job on me and he didn’t do it. He just drove in the back of me and put me in the fence. And it’s Brad Keselowski so I wasn’t too happy about it so I was going to go back after him and spin him out and I did. Won the race. Good for me.”

KESELOWSKI SAID THAT BECAUSE HE’S ON PROBATION PEOPLE CAN INTENTIONALLY WRECK HIM WITHOUT WORRYING ABOUT PAYBACK. IS THAT ACCURATE?

“I think Brad Keselowski should look himself in the mirror and say I’ve brought this on myself.”
