Um, can we let this nobody actually race a Nationwide race before we crown him?

Geezus. He has as much chance to be the next Paul Menard as he does to be the next Kyle Busch.

Being a Wisconsin Boy I take a little exception to that. Looking at his stats, he's finished in the top 15 only once this year, which isn't good, but not terrible as he's a consistent middle of the pack driver. How much of it though has to do with the fact that he drives for DEI who really doesn't have that great of a program? Of course he probably wouldn't be where he is if his daddy John Menard (on of my former employers) hadn't sponsored all his big league stock car rides.

Of course, might I point out he's higher in points than guys like Robby Gordon, Elliot Sadler, and Dave Blaney to name a few guys who are probably better drivers than him. I wonder what Paul Menard would be able to do with a team maybe like Rousch or Childress?

In regards to Logano, it seems like he's done quite well in his first Nationwide race finishing in the top 10. Of course that's only one race. Let's see what he can do with a few more races under his belt. Good start though.
