Them's the breaks: Logano wins at Kentucky

For the seventh consecutive race, Kyle Busch dominated and led the most laps of a Nationwide  Series event. But for the fifth of those seven, it was another driver who hoisted the trophy as Joey Logano won the Meijer 300 Saturday night at Kentucky Speedway.

Busch was flat out dominating, leading six times for 162 laps before an ill-advised adjutment forced the Gibbs no. 18 to tighten-up in the final laps. Logano was bad-fast all afternoon, including on pit road where NASCAR penalized him for speeding on lap 74.

The penalty made little difference to Logano as the Nationwide sophomore restarted 15th and charged back to the front in time to retake the lead from Busch with ten laps remaining.

The victory caps off an incredible afternoon for Logano. The win was his second of the season (third career) and second at Kentucky. The 18-year old also scored the victory from the pole in similar fashion to his first career victory last June at the 1.5 asphalt oval.

"It's really cool," Logano said. "This place is one of my favorite race tracks. It's one of those places that just suits you. To win two-for-two here, that's really cool for me and the whole team. I guess that's the first time anyone's ever done that here, so it's pretty neat. We've got two poles, two wins -- perfect record here, so that's pretty cool."

The rest of the top five included Busch, Brad Kaselowski, Brendam Gaughan and Justin Allgaier. Jason Leffler, Michael Annett, Burney Lammar, Ricky Stenhouse and Kelly Bires rounded out the top ten.


With his runner up finish, Busch extends his Nationwide points lead to137 points over Carl Edwards. Edward finished three laps down in 20th place after numerous pit infractions.

Onwards to Milwaukee.
