Nationwide Standings Report

Here is the top ten Nationwide standings(full ones on scenedaily.com)

1. Clint Bowyer 2506
2. Brad Keselowski -188
3. David Reutimann-190
   
4. Carl Edwards -205
5. Ravid Ragan -305
6. Mike Bliss -314
7. Kyle Busch -413
8. Mike Wallace -553
9. David Stremme -529
10. Jason Leffler -538

So as you can see, Bowyer still has a very comfortable lead. Keselowski lost points last night despite having the better car in the early part of the race. It'll be difficult for him to come back, but considering his talent and the fact that he's concentrating on only the Nationwide Series, I believe he can do it. Reutimann isn't too far behind either.

Edwards has a lot of confidence after last night's win and is with a crew chief that appears to be better for him, but I'm not sure if that deficit is manageable. It certainly won't be easy.

Therefore, Bowyer pretty much just has to run every race from here on out, in my opinion. He knows how to get results in the Nationwide.

The biggest loser for this week was Kyle Busch, dropping two spots, but that doesn't matter anymore, as he's decided to not run all of the races.

I really thought that Stremme could make a run, possibly looking to go into the top five in a few weeks, but last night's race was a huge setback. He'll just have to focus on the next one, still in the ninth spot.
