Las Vegas, Nev. – An early run-in with the wall at Las Vegas Motor Speedway could not stop Roush Fenway’s Trevor Bayne from picking off one driver after the next to finish fourth in Saturday’s 300-mile Nationwide Series race at the 1-5 mile track. The No.6 WFG (World Financial Group) Ford Mustang held the top spot for 21 laps early, before being forced into the wall by the No.32 car. The problems turned out to be mostly cosmetic, letting the No.6 crew make fast repairs and keep Bayne on the lead lap.
