Sprint guys were off this past weekend

Dale Jr and the other Sprint Cup drivers were off this past weekend, however, the Nationwide Series did race at Gateway on Saturday night. Congrats to Brad who won the pole after being the last driver in the top 35 to qualify. Brad's car was good, and got him a 8th place finish. He remains 3rd in the Nationwide standings and his brother Brian is showing some improvement this year. Brian's current spot is 22nd, which is much better than his finishing spot last year, which was 53rd. This coming weekend the Sprint Cup Series goes to the Indianapolis Motor Speedway, where anyone who was watching that race, whether at home or there in the stands, can remember how horrendous that race was due to the tires. Hopefully Goodyear has brought a much better tire to this years race and we won't see and competition cautions or guys with very good cars blowing tires like they did last year. As for the Nationwide drivers, they're across town at the O'Reilly Raceway Park. Brad, as always, will be driving the #88 GoDaddy.com Chevy and the #5 Fastenal Chevy will be driven by Scott Wimmer.
