Sorenson wins at Road America: #32-Reed Sorenson won the Bucyrus 200 at Road America for his 4th Nationwide career win, in a wild ending. The race ended under caution after 3 green-white-checker attempts. #18-Michael McDowell led after the first attempt, but was passed by #31-Justin Allgaier during the second GWC attempt. Several cars then wrecked, forcing NASCAR to throw the caution. Allgaier then ran out of gas and could not maintain speed before getting back to the finsih line. #7-Ron Fellows passed Sorenson under caution before Allgaier slowed and NASCAR determined that Fellows did not slow down sufficiently and gave Sorenson the win. Fellows was credited with 2nd place, followed by #22-Jacques Villeneuve, #2-Elliott Sadler, #01-Mike Wallace, #53-Andrew Ranger, #62-Michael Annett, #6-Ricky Stenhouse, Jr., #6-Ricky Stenhouse, and #67-J.R. Fitzpatrick. McDowell finished 12th and Allgaier 19th. There were 7 cautions for 14 laps and 12 lead changes among 8 leaders. The estimated attendance was 50000. (6-25-2011)
