Joey Logano Wins the NASCAR Nationwide Series Subway Jalapeno 250 Powered by Coca-Cola
Last night’s NASCAR Nationwide Series Subway Jalapeno 250 closed out it’s event with quite the exciting stir.
With 6 laps left, one of the most exciting possibilities for a NASCAR race-winner, Danica Patrick, steam-trained to the front of the pack, being pushed by whom I believe was Aric Almirola. With 5 to go they found themselves so far out front that what little aero advantage they had went away and the pack caught them.
You could hear the crowd at Daytona International Raceway cheering loudly as Danica Patrick took and held the lead, though it only lasted for 2 laps.
For but a moment, I thought we were going to get to see a piece of NASCAR and racing history in the making. But alas, it would not be such for our bright green printed GoDaddy Chevy driver.
With only 4 laps to go things started to change for everyone as one tandem team after another jockeyed for the coveted spot that would let them out-draft the others into the win.

When Dale Earnhardt Jr. left TEI… I mean DEI, he tried to take the No. 8 with him. But Teresa Earnhardt, via shrewd business focus, or spiteful step-motherly mode, retained the number. Something or other about the image of the number, and the team.
Congrats to Marcos Ambrose for taking on the man of all drivers and beating him, Kyle Busch. I got a kick out of Kyle not liking the pass Marcos made, but it was the necessary move and Kyle would have probably done the same thing if the situation were reversed.
