The 3's of Nationwide - Can We Make it Four?

So we all know I've been a respectful fan of the No. 3. It's a number set for eternity in many a fans mind, no matter what anyone else does with it. But here's a twist of the No. 3 from the Nationwide Series:

After three races, there have been three different winners:

1. Tony Stewart at Daytona;
2. Kyle Busch at Auto Club Speedway;
3. Greg Biffle at Las Vegas Motor Speedway.

We've had three different pole winners:

1. Kevin Harvick at Daytona;
2. Carl Edwards at ACS and;
3. Scott Speed at Las Vegas.

We've had three different point leaders in the series:

1. Stewart after Daytona,
2. Busch after California and currently
3. Edwards after Las Vegas.

It's the first time Edwards has led the standings since his 2007 title.


Finally, there have been three different owner standings leaders:

1. The No. 80 Hendrick Motorsports Chevrolet after Daytona;
2. the No. 18 Joe Gibbs Racing Chevrolet following ACS and the current leader
3. the No. 60 Roush Fenway Racing Ford.

I hope their next race doesn't make this all 4's. I ain't got nothin' for ya if that happens.
