NASCAR Nationwide Series

United States

The preliminaries are over. Say goodbye to these idiosyncratic mile race tracks with their narrow grooves and charming little nicknames, and hello to a big tri-oval that's neither magical nor monstrous. After two weeks of posturing, of jockeying about for position, of separating true contenders from pretenders, it's time to get down to the real business of NASCAR's playoff, on an intermediate track that's as meat-and-potatoes as the barbecue platters that helped make Kansas City famous.

Curse them if you must, deride them as cookie-cutter if you want, but the fact of the matter is these intermediate tri-ovals are the very heart of the Chase, the fulcrum on which the entire championship battle often turns. Places like New Hampshire and Dover and Martinsville and Talladega are about survival, about keeping it clean on restarts and trying not to become a casualty when somebody else has trouble, about managing misfortune and salvaging whatever you can. The intermediate tri-ovals, though, are all about speed and handling and setup, about rolling off the truck strong and leaving everyone else behind, about watching cars get strung out and discovering just how good each is on their own.


Nascar Racing Nationwide Series will start on Saturday, October 2nd
