NASCAR O'Reilly Series

There was something in the air on Sunday that you just kind of knew that NASCAR had once again been beaten by its arch nemesis Mother Nature.

Stenhouse, Jr. on racing at Phoenix International Raceway: “I love racing at Phoenix. It is a fun track to race at. We have not finished outside the top five in our four starts there."

After some bad luck in Daytona, Bowles and the American Majority Racing No. 81 team head west to Phoenix International Raceway this weekend looking to rebound.

One moment Elliott Sadler thought he was going to win the race and the next he was wondering how he made it to the finish line.

Mike Wallace and the No. 01 G&K Services Chevrolet team of JD Motorsports was saddled with an undeserved 28th-place run in the NASCAR Nationwide Series opener at Daytona International Speedway.

Richard Childress Racing teammates finished third (Elliott Sadler), fifth (Austin Dillon) and eighth (Tony Stewart). Sadler leads the Nationwide Series championship point standings by two points over Cole Whitt, with RCR teammate Dillon sitting third in the standings.

Ryan Truex started 18th in his superspeedway debut at Daytona International Speedway. As a rookie, he struggled finding a partner in the DRIVE4COPD 300 and prepared to make a final run at a top-10 finish when a 19-car incident ended Tommy Baldwin Racing’s (TBR) NASCAR Nationwide Series (NNS) debut early. The No. 36 Grime Boss Chevrolet finished in the 31st position.

Going into the final corner, it looked as if Kurt Busch, Tony Stewart, or Joey Logano would find themselves in victory lane.
