Las Vegas - Nationwide Series: Cup Series Guys "Wreck" Havoc

If you wanted to see an accident on the track today was the day. It wasn't the inexperienced drivers who caused the cautions, but the guys who make the big bucks in the Sprint Cup Series.

Denny Hamlin spun in the opening laps followed by Kyle Busch hitting the wall hard while racing Kevin Harvick for the lead. Then you had Jeff Burton spinning and taking out Harvick. Later Greg Biffle ran out of gas 6 laps before his intended pit stop. Between Denny Hamlin and Carl Edwards speeding through the pits and David Regan hitting the wall hard while leading, there were not many green flag runs. All this happened in a 300 mile race, imagine if they were racing a 500 mile race! I think the Sprint Cup guys should have just watched from the stands, everyone but the race winner.

Now it's time to mention the race winner: The Biff! After complaining of flu-like symptoms, Greg Biffle drove his #16 Citi Ford Fusion to victory. This win ended Biffle's 76 race winless streak in the Nationwide Series.
