N’WIDE: Setzer Continues To Set The Pace At Kentucky


Dennis Setzer picked up the 8th last-place finish of his NASCAR Nationwide Series career in Saturday’s Meijer 300 at Kentucky Speedway when his unsponsored #92 K-Automotive Dodge fell out with electrical problems 6 laps into the 200-lap race.

Setzer qualified 30th at a speed of 171.991 mph. It was not only his second consecutive last-place finish in the Nationwide Series, but his second straight starting from that spot. He continues to hold a commanding lead in the LASTCAR standings and has moved to 7th in the LASTCAR Nationwide Series rankings. Matt Carter finished 42nd on Saturday for the second consecutive race; he has yet to score a single last-place finish in his young Nationwide Series career.
