Stenhouse Jr. Dominates, But Keselowski Comes Out With The Victory


Ricky Stenouse Jr dominated the Nationwide race at Lucas Oil Speedway, leading 188 laps. However,  on the second to last restart, Keselowski pushed him up the track, knocking him out of the lead. The caution came out moments later when Elloitt Sadler spun and got into his teammate, Austin Dillon. The next restart, Keselowski pulled away and came out with the win. James Buescher passed Ricky to take 2nd, while Ricky had to finish in 3rd.

The biggest moment was a scary crash with Tim Andrews (drove of the #40 Key Motorsports car), Michael Annett, and Steve Wallace. Michael Annett got loose and got into Tim Andrews (according to both of their interviews, (there were no replays of their incident)), and moments later Steve Wallace spun out and plowed into Annett's parked car and got into Andrew's car. All drivers were okay. Wallace put the blame on Jame Buescher because he bumped him, that somehow caused him to spin out 5 seconds after the bump occurred.

Ricky Stenhouse Jr. took the points lead after this race, he is leading Reed Sorenson by 4 points. The Nationwide guys hit Iowa next, the same track where Ricky Stenhouse took his first Nationwide win.
