Regulars Turning Heads

The success of series-only regulars and Raybestos Rookie of the Year candidates has been an early-season highlight.

Three regulars – Justin Allgaier (fourth), Steve Wallace (seventh) and rookie James Buescher (eighth) are ranked in the top 10 in points. Another rookie, Brian Scott, is 11th. Four regulars finished in the top 10 last Saturday at Auto Club Speedway, led by Wallace in sixth. Allgaier paced the regulars in the season-opener at Daytona with a fourth-place finish. In both races – Scott at ACS and Allgaier at Daytona – were running second late in the event.

Last year at Las Vegas, five “regular guys” finished in the top 10, led by Jason Leffler’s fourth-place result.
