Regan Smith steals win from Alex Tagliani at Mid-Ohio

Regan Smith made a last-lap pass to get his #7 JR Motorsports Chevrolet around the #22 Team Penske Ford of open-wheel racer Alex Tagliani to win Saturday's Nationwide Children's Hospital 200 at the Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course. Tagliani, who along with Roush Fenway driver and defending race winner Chris Buescher (#60) had led the most laps in the race, was visibly outraged at the finish on the race. The race also saw incidents like Roush drivers Darrell Wallace Jr. (#6) and Ryan Reed (#16) as well as Smith's teammate Ben Rhodes (#88) getting stuck in the track's gravel/sand traps after spinning. Reed's second spin was caused by Justin Marks, driving the #42 Chevrolet in place of Brennan Poole. Dylan Kwasniewski also made his return to the series in the #97 Chevrolet. Road course ringer Boris Said in the #54 Joe Gibbs/Kyle Busch Toyota had a less impressive day than Watkins Glen last week. Also early in the race, Kenny Habul in the #20 JGR Toyota cut his right front tire, laying down pieces of rubber on the track and also hitting some orange cones, which fell onto the track.
