Should be interesting to see how Danica gets up to speed after a few months away. Might be a struggle early on but I'd expect her to improve quickly.

Congrats to Kyle Busch for his win and setting a couple records of a 2-time winner at New Hampshire and the most laps led in the Nationwide Series. Danica ran solid despite her finish. It's a shame Morgan Shepherd took her out early forcing her to go a lap down quickly but she did ok after that.

Morgan Shepherd has no right to be on the track in Nationwide - pity for Danica getting taken out like that...
Another win for Kyle - cup drivers blah, blah, blah...

2010 Standings

*** For the record, cup drivers have won every nationwide round this year

[MJ_N_09]

Since when is Allgaier a Cup driver?

[gomick]

My bad... Cup drivers have won 15 out of 16
