Nationwide: Montreal - Race results

Fuel strategies dominated much of the NAPA Auto Parts 200 presented by Dodge NASCAR Nationwide Series road course race at the Circuit Gilles Villeneuve in Montreal, with a serious of late aggressive moves and subsequent cautions forcing the race into overtime.

That gave Justin Allgaier one last chance to make a run on race leader Jacques Villeneuve, who appeared to be slowing on the final lap after stretching his fuel to the absolute limit in the latter stages of the race. Allgaier bumped the former F1 driver out of the way and went on to hold off Sam Hornish Jr. to the chequered flag to win his third victory in 130 Nationwide starts.

It's Allgaier's first victory in 2012 - the last was at Chicagoland in June 2011 - and the first time that he has won at the Canadian venue shared with the F1 Grand Prix calendar or at any of the road course venues raced on by the Nationwide teams. He led just one lap the entire afternoon - the final one - but that was all that was required.

Hornish recovered from multiple incidents to finish in second place and put him in equal second place int he Nationwide standings with Ricky Stenhouse Jr., 22pts behind current championship leader Elliott Sadler.
