Nationwide title pretty much decided

Filed under Caught in the Catchfence™, Nationwide Series

Kyle Busch left Texas Motor Speedway with a 272-point lead over second-place driver Carl Edwards in the quest for the Nationwide Series crown. Busch, however, lost 25 of those points on Tuesday when NASCAR issued him a penalty for an improperly secured weight on his No. 18 car when it arrived at Texas Motor Speedway for last weekend’s event.

Even so, Busch’s lead over Edwards stands at 247 points with only two races to go. While he hasn’t clinched his first NASCAR national series title just yet, he does pretty much have the champion’s trophy in the bag. To clinch Saturday at Phoenix, he needs to have a 195-point lead over Edwards at the conclusion of Saturday’s Able Body Labor 200 at Phoenix International Raceway.

Busch will also once again be going for the trifecta of Truck, Nationwide, and Sprint Cup series wins at the same track on the same weekend. That’s something that’s never been done in NASCAR national-level competition. He fell just one race short at Texas Motor Speedway last weekend — winning the Camping World Truck and Nationwide races before running out of gas in the final laps of the Sprint Cup race on Sunday. – Full Story by Amanda Vincent – Louisvill NASCAR Examiner
