Sam's Town 300 about to get underway

The star of the NASCAR Nationwide Series finished with qualifying earlier in the day and took a sort break while the Sprint Cup drivers took to the track for their final practice.
Now, the Nationwide Series drivers are back on the track and readying themselves and their crews for the drop of the green flag in the 12th running of the Sam's Town 300.
The Top 10 starting grid looks like this:
10th Brian Vickers
9th Mike Bliss
8th Brad Kesolowski
7th Carl Edwards
6th Steve Wallace
5th Kyle Busch
4th Denny Hamlin
3rd Greg Biffle
2nd Kevin Harvick
1st Coor's Light Pole Position: Scott Speed
Check back for photos and race coverage throughout the afternoon. And just a little tidbit of information. Kyle Busch got into the wall during final practice and scraped up the side of the No. 18 M&Ms Toyota. It appears that the car can be repaired and the team will not have to go to a back-up car for Sunday's race. Busch is already giving up his front row pole starting position because he blew an engine on Lap 4 of the first practice session on Friday.
