 | This article needs additional citations for verification. (February 2012) |
The 2012 NASCAR Nationwide Series season will be the thirty-first season of semi-professional stock car racing in the United States. The season will include thirty-three races, down from thirty-four, and began with the DRIVE4COPD 300 at Daytona International Speedway and ending with the Ford EcoBoost 300 at Homestead-Miami Speedway. Ford entered the 2012 season as the reigning Manufacturer's Champion, while Ricky Stenhouse, Jr. started the season as the defending Driver's Champion.
Report
The Nationwide Series started its 2012 season at Daytona. The race was dominated by a mix of tandem and pack drafting. On the final lap, Kurt and Kyle Busch attempted to block the tandem of Joey Logano and Trevor Bayne. When the Busch brothers moved up to block, it resulted in a 10 car collision that wrecked most of the top 10. Part-time Nationwide driver James Buescher sailed through the wreck and scored his first series win. Heading to Phoenix, Kevin Harvick dominated the race, leading 90 laps. On the final pitstop, teammate Elliott Sadler got two tires and managed to hold off a charging Brad Keselowski for his first Nationwide win in 14 years. Heading to Las Vegas, defending champion Ricky Stenhouse, Jr. held off veteran Mark Martin for his first win of the season. The next week at Bristol, polesitter Joey Logano dominated the race, leading 119 laps. But Elliott Sadler, on the advice of crew chief Luke Lambert, stayed out during the final round of pitstops and held off Kasey Kahne for his second win in four races. In California, Logano won back-to-back poles, but held off Stenhouse for his first win of the season.
Following the off week, teams returned to racing at Texas. There Ricky Stenhouse, Jr. and Paul Menard were the class of the field, with Menard leading 100 laps. However, Stenhouse rallied from a poor early pitstop and held off Menard for his second win of the season. At Richmond, Kevin Harvick, Kurt Busch, and Virginia native Denny Hamlin dominated the race, but Busch would hold off Hamlin to take the first Nationwide win for Kyle Busch Motorsports. The following week at Talladega, a multi-car crash on the last lap forced a red flag. On the restart, Joey Logano edged Cup teammate Kyle Busch by .0034 seconds to take his second win of the year. At Darlington, Denny Hamlin dominated the race, leading 102 laps. However, a push from Brad Keselowski on a green-white-checkered restart sent Joey Logano to the lead and to his second consecutive win. At Iowa, points leader Ricky Stenhouse, Jr. once again dominated, leading 209 of 250 laps to easily claim his third consecutive Iowa win. At Charlotte, Brad Keselowski stayed out during the final round of pit stops, going 73 laps on a single tank of fuel to claim his first win of the season. At Dover, Joey Logano dominated the race and held off teammates Ryan Truex and Brian Scott to grab the win.
Following the off weekend, the series returned to action at Michigan, where Logano once again dominated the race, holding off James Buescher to grab his second consecutive victory. The following week at Road America, Nelson Piquet, Jr. dominated the race from pole, grabbing his first Nationwide win and becoming the first Brazilian to win in one of NASCAR's top three divisions. At Kentucky, Austin Dillon dominated the race, easily holding off the field to take his first career Nationwide win and becoming the first rookie winner since Juan Pablo Montoya. Dillon took over the points lead, but lost it after failing post-race inspection. When the series returned to Daytona, multiple Big Ones took out most of the contenders. However, Kurt Busch stayed out front and pulled a last lap pass on Joey Logano to take his second win of the season.
