Trevor Bayne captured the win at Iowa Speedway this afternoon despite a short rain delay. The newlywed, who was married on Tuesday, fought to the front just before the checkered flag waved. The race was suppose to run Saturday night, but was postponed due to rain.
Austin Dillon, driver and grandson of Richard Childress, won the pole and led the majority of the race on Sunday afternoon. On lap 164, after a huge collision between Travis Pastrana, Alex Bowman and Max Papis, the rain came once again and completely washed out the track, forcing the field into a red flag. After an hour long rain delay, the cars were fired and returned to the track.
Bayne had an extremely fast car and was in the top 5 for most of the race. Roush Fenway Racing has won multiple times at Iowa, most of them with Ricky Stenhouse Jr. last year. With some beating and banging, Trevor Bayne was able to catch and pass Austin Dillon with 10 laps to go. This is the first win of 2013 and second career Nationwide Series win for Bayne, the first coming at Texas in 2012. This also marks Ford Racing's 200th win in the Nationwide Series.
Elliott Sadler, Sam Hornish Jr., and Kyle Larson rounded up the Top 5 in the first Nationwide race without a Sprint Cup driver this year.
