It was beginning to be difficult to think that anyone besides Ricky Stenhouse Jr. was going to end up at Pizza Ranch Victory Lane in the NASCAR Nationwide Series stops at Iowa Speedway.

After multiple drivers paced the field of Saturday’s U.S. Cellular 250, it was series points leader Elliott Sadler that grabbed the lead on lap 192 and didn’t let go, extending his points lead and ending Stenhouse Jr.’s three-race streak.

“I didn’t really like not leading the first lap, but that’s not the one that pays the money,” Sadler said. “We learned what we had to learn, we moved on from it and for the rest of the race we were pretty good.”
