I watch some of the Saturday races, but I have never followed the points that much. But the Nationwide lineup is pretty good this year, and it could make for an interesting points race.

Brian Vickers (Gibbs)
Elliot Sadler
Regan Smith (JR Motrosports)
Stenhouse JR
Austin Dillon
Sam Hornish Jr

Others of interest:
Travis Pastrana
Kyle Larson
Ryan Blaney
Johanna Long (Pensacola girl)

I think Ryan Blaney will be racing a few and a name to watch for by the end of the year is Kyle Larson. He has completely torn up every class he touches in dirt, I think he's racing ARCA full time but he'll move up quick

Yea, Pastrana is a great way to attract younger fans. He ran a few races last year with MWR, but he didn't have much success. Then he got in a Roush ride and finished 13th. He will be racing with Roush full time this year. Will be interesting to see what he can do.


Ricky Carmichael ran for a couple of years in truck for Harvick's team. He has ran some Nationwide races, but I think he ran into sponsorship problems. He is supposedly looking for a ride.

Had no clue Pastrana was racing. Pretty cool. Hope he does well.

They were just talking about how he is nervous to bump the car in front of him.


I was thinking that is actually probably a good thing. You have to get close to get speed, but the regulars are so used to just shoving the other car around the track that it causes wrecks.

Kyle Larson
Next prodigy to come from the dirt track. Kid has literally won in every kind of racecar he has sat in. Think Jeff Gordon/Tony Stewart type. He is impressive to watch in any form of racing. He is only 20 but logged over 30 wins in various racecar's last year.

Added. He was mentioned earlier too. I'll have to keep an eye out for him.

Yeah, probably will pull it up there. HDMI cord to TV

Least the 500 is on Fox. Got that in nice crystal clear HD with an antenna.
