NASCAR By the Numbers: Dueling in the Phoenix desert

Phoenix was the site of the second to last NASCAR race weekend, one championship was all but wrapped up while another is still up in the air. Looking at the numbers, let’s see how the weekend played out for the contenders.



NASCAR Nationwide Series Wypall 200:


Ricky Stenhouse Jr. now has the championship in the bag, just needing a 37th or better finish to clench the title.



Elliott Sadler fell to –41 points behind after a deliberate crash by Jason Leffler. Crashes in the last two races (Nationwide and Trucks) have cost Kevin Harvick Inc. the chance at two championships this season.
