Braun, Stenhouse must QUALIFY ON TIME at Phoenix...

[TeamBlueOval]

...as they BOTH find themselves OUT of the top-30 in Nationwide owners points.

The battle for the top 30:

27) #40-Key Motorsports/Mike Bliss 431, +32
28) #05-Day Enterprises/Willie Allen 425, +26
29) #61-Specialty Racing/Josh Wise 401, +2
30) R3 Motorsports/Robert Richardson 401, 2 points ahead of 31st

Teams out of the top 30 MUST qualify on time at Phoenix:
31) #10-Braun Racing 399, -2 out of the top 30
32) #81-MacDonald Motorsports / Michael McDowell 398, -3
33) #26-K Automotive/ Brian Keselowski 395, -6
34) #16-Roush Fenway Racing/Colin Braun 374, -27
35 #70-ML Motorsports/Shelby Howard 356, -45
36) #6-Roush Fenway Racing/Ricky Stenhouse 337, -64


Those guys have had TERRIBLE luck early this season. I hope they'll start to put together some decent runs and get safely inside the top-30 and be able to challenge for the top-15 by the end of the year!

Yes , even the cars Edwards has been driving and Edwards is the best (even tho he shouldn't be racing in NW) in that series. One thing that I feel quite certain about---- if they don't come up with a NEW ENGINE for the MUSTANG COT it won't change one dam bit. The TOYS, CHEVIES and yes even the DODGE (and I like Dodge) are running and being far more competitive than the FORDS. Edwards is doing fine because he is the BEST DRIVER in the NW series.. MERNARD well he is in a FORD now and maybe he always was a good driver but in the wrong car. LOL I sure hope so. Mernard took a lot of bashing all over the racing forums and I sure would love to see him passing out crow pies.

Getting ready for Mass now and WISHING A HAPPY EASTER TO ALL.

[RacingDude]

Sucks for Colin and Ricky. They've had good runs, but have always run into bad luck. Cloud, please go away. :lol:

[Dog]

wow..... thats rediculous

[roosterrage]

Wow that's bad. When is that last time that has happened with two top Roush cars- never?

[TeamBlueOval]

I don't think it has ever happened to any Roush cars in the Nationwide Series.

It has happened once in the Cup Series with only 1 car... McMurray was out of the top-35 for one or two weeks last spring.

[roosterrage]

I had forgotten Jamie was down that low a few years ago, but yeah definitely an odd sight to see for a Roush car.
