Regular drivers on the NASCAR Nationwide Series were in a skid against their Sprint Cup counterparts, but Ricky Stenhouse Jr. finally put the brakes to it.

The 23-year-old out-drove the only two Sprint Cup drivers in the field to achieve it.

Stenhouse jockeyed with Carl Edwards for most of the final 100 laps before taking the lead with 18 laps remaining and capturing the checkered flag for the Nationwide Iowa John Deere Dealers 250 on Sunday at Iowa Speedway. KCRG

“During that last caution, I was praying for a good restart,” Stenhouse said. “My restarts haven’t been that great all year, but it came through.”

Stenhouse became the first Nationwide regular to win a race in this series since March 2010 when Justin Allgaier took the checkered flag for the first time in his career at Bristol Motor Speedway.

When the series most recently competed at Iowa last July, Stenhouse wrecked his primary car in practice and then crashed his backup vehicle in qualifying. He managed to finish the race in 14th in his second backup car.

“Iowa was definitely not my favorite place; now it is,” he said. MiamiHerald.com
