Gaughan Holds Off Furious Tagliani at Road America; Complete Race Results
When Alex Tagliani had to pit for fuel near the end of the Gardner Denver 200 on Saturday -- and restart in the middle of the pack with only two laps of racing to go -- it looked like Brendan Gaughan might cruise to victory if he could hold off Chase Elliott and Johnny O'Connell. Those two drivers put up a strong fight to no avail, but Tagliani roared through the field like a man possessed and nearly achieved a miraculous comeback. Gaughan took the checkered flag, winning for the first time ever in the Nationwide Series and for the first time in a NASCAR race since 2003 when he won six times in the Craftsman Truck Series.
