Who To Watch: O'Reilly 300

Wondering who to watch for to be up front at the end of Saturday's Nationwide race at Texas Motor Speedway?

Well here are a few names I expect to seen battling for the win at the end.

Kyle Busch (first)

Busch has not had a Nationwide victory since Fontana in February, and for a guy like Busch that is far too long. Busch, who swept both Texas races last year, is on the pole for Saturday and doesn't plan to give up that top spot.

 

Matt Kenseth (second)

Winner of this event in 2007, Kenseth starts outside of Busch on the front row. Look for his Ford to be strong and consistent all day long and be there at the end.

 

Carl Edwards (sixth)

Do I really need to say why Edwards will be a contender? Nationwide race at the 1.5-mile track in Texas, that is Edwards' forte!

 

Tony Stewart (eighth)

Stewart loves races like this, someone else's car in a series in which points do not matter to him, his mind is free of concerns. He can just focus completely on winning and odds are win is what he is going to do.

 

Peyton Sellers (23rd)

Yeah I am going to include Sellers on his list as the underdog of the bunch. It's his first race, and he's got something to prove. I won't be surprised if he proves it with a trip to Victory Lane.
