The NASCAR Nationwide Series comes to Charlotte, N.C. for week 12 of the season and the Tech-Net Auto Service 300 on Saturday at Charlotte Motor Speedway. Points leader Brad Keselowski will look to build on his slim 11-point lead on Kyle Busch, who ranks second in the point standings. Here are my three drivers to watch for Saturday's Tech-Net Auto Service 300.
3. Carl Edwards: Although a Ford has yet to win on the Nationwide Series in 2010 in 11 tries, Edwards might be prone for a breakthrough at Charlotte. Edwards finished 10th last May at Charlotte in the Carquest Auto Parts 300 and bettered that by coming in fifth in the Dollar General 300 in October. Edwards has two top-10 finishes in his last three starts with the third finish being 11th last week at Dover.
2. Joey Logano: Logano has been hot in his last three starts on the Nationwide Series. After not racing at Darlington or Dover, Logano is poised for a win at Charlotte. In his previous three starts on the Nationwide Series at Richmond, Talladega and Texas, Logano finished sixth, second and second, respectively. Logano finished 14th in the Dollar General 300 in October after an early accident but logged a fifth-place finish last May in the Carquest Auto Parts 300.
1. Kyle Busch: Easily the most talked-about person in the sport, Busch already has four wins on the Nationwide series in 2010 and won the October race in Charlotte in dominating fashion. Busch led 137 of the 200 laps in the Dollar General 300 and proclaimed Charlotte as "His house" after his win. Busch picked up a win last week at Dover and finished second the previous week at Darlington Raceway. To put it all in perspective, Busch has three wins in his last six starts and has finished outside the top four only once.
