Flipper, faster than lightning...or at least a greased cheetah strapped to a bullet train.

Carl Edwards wins the Nationwide Series race at O’Reilly Raceway Park, beating out Kyle Busch towards the end, who ultimately finished second.

The race was punctuated by some unusual moments, like the pace car racing out, causing then-leader Trevor Bayne to have to check up rapidly and Steven Wallace to get into him, spinning him. Both drivers salvaged Top 10s, but were never back up at the front like that again.

Rounding out the Top 10 were Matt Kenseth, Brad Keselowski, Steve Wallace, Ron Hornaday, Trevor Bayne, Jason Leffler, Scott Wimmer and Kenny Wallace.

Full results after the jump.

Young Men’s Fancies Turn to the Developmental Series: 18-Year-Old Trevor Bayne on Pole for Nationwide Series Race at ORP

Something old, something new...

Something old, something new...

Contesting my recent post that NASCAR has become an old man’s game, new Nationwide Series driver Trevor Bayne, 18, will be on the pole for tonight’s Nationwide race at O’Reilly Raceway Park. If you’re keeping track, the ages of the pole winners for the three series this weekend are 20, 50 and 18 (Braun, Martin and Bayne). Strange polarization in the ages of success this weekend.

Behind Bayne, you have more young blood in Brad Coleman, Steve Wallace and Erik Darnell. Then the rest of the Top 10 is Terry Cook, Scott Lagasse, Brad Keselowski, Ron Hornaday, Brendan Gaughan and Mike Bliss.

Carl Edwards wins the Nationwide Series race at the Milwaukee Mile. Kyle Busch led most of the way, only to finish second again. Of course, second to Kyle is “first loser,” which, ironically, is in line with the opinion of a great many NASCAR fans, 88 on their arms or otherwise.

It was a good day for Roush Fenway all around, with all three cars in the Top 5. Ricky Stenhouse led as many laps as Carl did and finished 5th. Erik Darnell ended up with a 4th-place finish, battling Kyle and then Brad Keselowski for the end of the race.

Steven Wallace, Mike Bliss, Stephen Leicht, birthday boy Ron Hornaday, who won earlier in the Truck Series race, and Jason Leffler rounded out the Top 10.

Full results after the jump.

Kyle's worst finish in the NOS Nationwide car was a third place finish two weeks ago at Charlotte.

Kyle Busch is on the pole once again for the Nationwide Series race at Nashville. Recent MWR signee Trevor Bayne (whom we reported on earlier this week) qualified second, followed by a couple of Twitterers in Michael McDowell and Brad Coleman (driving Joey Logano’s 20 car) and Scott Lagasse in 5th. The only other Cup driver trying to rack up the frequent flier miles, Carl Edwards, qualified 6th.
