NEWTON, Iowa(AP) -- The NASCAR Nationwide series has been
dominated by double-duty Sprint Cup drivers all season, which
isn't exactly a new phenomenon.
The so-called "regular guys" on the Nationwide tour are hoping
to break that trend in Iowa.
The Nationwide series will make its second stop at Iowa Speedway
on Saturday night with a thinner-than-usual roster of
double-duty drivers. The Sprint Cup race in Pocono on Sunday
starts less than 18 hours after the green flag drops in Iowa, so
just eight drivers are scheduled to double-dip this weekend.
That could leave the door open for the likes of Justin Allgaier,
Trevor Bayne or Steve Wallace to snap a stretch of 16 races
without a win for a Nationwide-only driver.
