I wonder if Ricky Stenhouse, Jr. wakes up and wishes he could race every weekend at Iowa Speedway. After winning his third race in a row at the track last weekend, Stenhouse has to be on cloud nine.
Last year, Stenhouse won the pole for this race and finished fouth to his Roush-Fenway Racing teammate, Matt Kenseth. This was Kenseth’s first NASCAR Nationwide Series start of the season, and his first ever in the current generation car. Kenseth, who was subbing for Trevor Bayne, won his 26th career Nationwide race. He is not in this race this season.
My race pick for the NASCAR Nationwide Race is Kyle Busch. Who is yours?
