The Nationwide Series Takes a One-Week Break
Bobby Hamilton, Jr. and the Team Rensi Motorsports No. 25 Ford Fusion are off this week as the Nationwide Series prepares for the final five races of 2008. Bobby hopes to recover after his 25th finish in Kansas (two flat tires under the green flag dashed all hopes of another solid finish). Denny Hamlin held off Nationwide Series points-leader Clint Bowyer to win Saturday's Kansas Lottery 300 at Kansas Speedway, but Bowyer extended his margin in the standings over his two closest pursuers.
Be sure to watch Bobby and the entire team on Friday evening, October 10 in the Dollar General 300 at Lowe’s Motor Speedway. You can catch all the action on ESPN2 at 7:30 pm. Check your local listings for the broadcast time in your area. |
