Camping World RV Rental 250 Preview

Tonight, the Nationwide Series goes to Milwaukee for the Camping World RV Rental 250 in what promises to be an entertaining race to get us ready for Infineon.

Obviously, the biggest storyline will be eighteen-year old sensation Joey Logano, who will go for his second win in just his fourth race. He can also get his third pole, as qualifying is set to begin very shortly. It is shocking how well he's been able to do in such a short time, so nothing that he does tonight would be unexpected. He just needs to qualify well, run a clean race, and then do his thing at the end. If he can get a victory, he will have won half of his first four races. That's pretty special. It'll be interesting to see if he finally struggles, although it seems as if he'll never make a mistake.

There are plenty other drivers to watch out for, though.

David Stremme, who has been very consistent this season, has three top-fives at the Mile and is always in the hunt at this track. In today's last practice, he was the fastest driver. He's still looking for his first win of 2008.

Clint Bowyer, the series' points leader, is always a contender for the race. He is making the long trip from Sonoma to Milwaukee, so he might not have all his energy available.

Carl Edwards, David Ragan, Marcos Ambrose, and David Reutimann are also doing double-duty. Even though these guys usually seem to have the advantage, keep in mind that they weren't able to practice their cars today because of them being in Sonoma.

Also, watch out for the guys who ran in the truck race last night. It was a physical, intense battle, so they should be ready for this one. Erik Darnell seems to have a fast car.

We should always remember Brad Keselowski, as he's been pretty consistent this year.

Like I've said the past two days, qualifying isn't terribly important at Milwaukee. The straightaways are long, and the turns are pretty good for passing. A driver can get a lot of spots throughout the race.

However, like we saw last night, the leader can pull away rather easily with the rest of the field getting congested by cars off the lead-lap and other traffic. There will be many lapped cars, as this is a short track with lots of passing and wrecking.

Therefore, the polesitter will have a big advantage, and pit crew will be of great importance with all the cautions. The best car doesn't always win at these types of tracks.

Qualifying is just about set to get under way, so I'll get the starting lineup and my prediction out to you once it is completed.
