Win a race ? I dunno about that.. maybe with a bit of luck.
Her sprint cup seat is looking a little easier with Reutimann putting the car up in 16th during qualifying.
Allmendinger on pole, Harvick, Lonago, Hamlin and Mark Martin round out the top 5.
I believe Logano will have to go to the back due to an engine change.
Smoke is 23rd :-/ says on twitter the car is faster than that but we'll see.
EGR boys had a shocker down in 36th and 39th.
Truck race is about 65 laps from finishing, piquet just outside the top ten.

Sorry these are newbie questions:
- What's the difference between the Nascar sprint cup and nationwide series?
The Sprint Cup is the "premier" national touring division of NASCAR, the Nationwide is often considered the second level.- What's the difference between the Nascar sprint cup and nationwide series?

- Joey Logano and James Buescher each won a race (in nationwide), why are they on 0 points?
James Buescher I believe is registered in the Camping World Truck Series and Logano in the Sprint Cup. NASCAR introduced a rule in the beginning of 2011 that forced drivers to only register for one of the top three championships; so if you managed to win all thirty six Cup races, but were registered for the NNS, you'd still have zero points!- Joey Logano and James Buescher each won a race (in nationwide), why are they on 0 points?
Sprint is the premier series, nationwide is the lesser. Nationwide cars aren't as fast and have different body styles.
Bit like 1st division vs 2nd if you like.
There are a number of other NASCAR sanctioned series too like the K&N Series.
Far as Logano / Buescher go I believe there is a rule that says you have to nominate which series you want to earn points in. Logano takes his in Sprint Cup, Buescher in trucks. I don't know what the exact rule is but have asked elsewhere.

Bit late posting this week.
First trip to Richmond this year, no trucks, but nationwide is back along with cup.
Cup race is 7:45pm ET tonight, so 0:43am Sunday morning here. Mark Martin on pole in the #55 with Carl Edwards beside him. The usual suspects are somewhat down the order - Brad 16th, Stewart is 22nd, Jimmie 27th, Biffle 28th. Bit of an upturn for JPM in 20th who out qualified his team mate for the first time this year (I think?)
Nationwide race was last night and was shown live on motors TV. It is being shown tonight at 7pm. No spoilers but I'm told its a cracking finish. Travis Pastrana and Danica are in this one.

One redneck even came on the radio and asked "am I ahead of the girl?!", come on Danica I hope she sticks it to them!
that was pastrana! 
yeah good finish and recovery drive from Hamlin, kudos for racing fair, he could of easily bumped & ran.
Shame for Logano, I think a strong result would do his confidence some good.

girls - Johanna Long is running full time in the Nationwide this year as well. Both of them beat Travis Pastrana, despite neither having a good day.Awesome finish though and funny to see Kyle Busch actually speechless for a few seconds when interviewed after the race
