Nationwide Series Results / Standings: California
After a long weekend full of rain and constant rescheduling, the Nationwide Series finally took the track this afternoon after the Auto Club 500 finally finished and Tony Stewart lived up to every bit of his nickname as he “smoked” the field. While Stewart led 136 of the 150 laps of the Stater Bros. 300, the real race took place in the battle for second. It took thirty laps to do, but Kyle Busch finally wrestled second place away from David Reutimann to – for the second week in a row – finish runner-up to his Gibbs teammate. Reutimann eventually lost that position as well to Kevin Harvick and finished the race in fourth. Rounding out the top five was Carl Edwards, winner of the Sprint Cup Series’ race earlier in the day.
The victory by Stewart now gives
