Ford Racing is trying to sweep the three major championships in the NASCAR Nationwide Series.

Two-race winner Ricky Stenhouse Jr. of Roush Fenway Racing leads winless Elliott Sadler of Kevin Harvick Inc. by 15 points in the driver standings. Roush Fenway’s No. 60 Mustang team (with Carl Edwards) is just three points behind Toyota-based Joe Gibbs Racing’s No. 18 team (with Kyle Busch) for the owners’ championship. And Ford is 10 ahead of Toyota, 28 ahead of Chevrolet and 47 ahead of Dodge for the manufacturers’ championship.

Ford has gotten eight of its 12 wins from Carl Edwards, with two from Stenhouse and one each from Marcos Ambrose and Matt Kenseth.

Chevrolet’s four wins have come from Tony Stewart, Justin Allgaier, Reed Sorenson and Mark Martin. Brad Keselowski (four) and Kurt Busch (one) have Dodge’s five wins. Toyota has eight wins from Busch and one each from Joey Logano and Denny Hamlin.
