NOTES: Last year, Stephen Leicht claimed the lead on lap 188 of the 200-lap race and held on for his first career Nationwide Series victory. Pole sitter Regan Smith, who led for 45 laps, finished a distant 19th. Brad Coleman, who led for 36 laps, finished second, 2.011 seconds behind Leicht. The 2007 winner is not listed in the field this week and has raced only four times on the Nationwide circuit this year. His best placing is a seventh at the Bashas' Supermarkets 200 in April. In 2006, David Gilliland recorded his first career Nationwide Series title, as he crossed the finish line 0.306 of a second ahead of J.J. Yeley. Gilliland, who won in only his seventh Nationwide Series start, led the final 11 laps in front of an estimated crowd of 73,000. Pole sitter Denny Hamlin finished third, while Kyle Busch, who led for a race-high 61 laps, placed 13th. Yeley held the lead from lap 136 to 189, but could not hold off Gilliland. Kentucky Speedway became the 43rd track at which the NASCAR Nationwide Series has competed, the 20th Superspeedway. It is the second track in the Bluegrass State that has held a NASCAR Nationwide Series race. The Louisville Speedway (.354 mile ) hosted two races, 1988 won by Tommy Ellis and 1989 won by Tommy Houston. Kenny Wallace won the pole for the 1989 race. One NASCAR Sprint Cup race was contested in Kentucky. On August 29, 1954, Lee Petty won the 200 lap race at the one-half mile dirt Corbin Speedway in Corbin, Kentucky. In 2005, Carl Edwards dominated this race, leading 89 of the first 100 laps, but still needed to pass Martin Truex Jr on the white flag lap to win the 2005 Meijer 300 by less than a second over Truex Jr. The win was the third of Edwards' five-win season, helping him to a third-place finish in the final Nationwide points standings. With 20 laps to go, Edwards was in fourth place, but 4.163 seconds behind the 2004 Nationwide champion Truex Jr. Fortunately for the No.60 team, Biffle and Tyler Walker spun out on lap 185 of 200 and Truex Jr's big margin was gone. On the restart with eight laps to go, Edwards blew by Reed Sorenson on the outside and then underneath Clint Bowyer. Now he was right behind Truex Jr and coming on fast. But another caution involving Biffle brought out the final caution making the race into a two-lap shootout for the victory. Truex Jr tried vainly to hold off the much faster Edwards, but it was not to be and in turn three of lap 199 Edwards made the winning pass. Bobby Hamilton Jr and Kyle Busch will attempt to become the first two-time champion of this race. Hamilton won in 2003 and Busch in 2004. Last week in Nashville, Joey Logano won his first pole in only his second race while Brad Keselowski won his first career race. Last year in Kentucky, Regan Smith won his first pole and Stephen Leicht his first race. Although Clint Bowyer owns a commanding 166 point lead over David Reutimann, just 56 points separate Reutimann from Brad Keselowski in fifth position. The NASCAR Nationwide championship moves to The Milwaukee Mile on Saturday, June 21st for the Camping World RV Rental 250, where Aric Almirola captured the 2007 race. 06/10 14:23:22 ET
