Kyle Busch may soon be known as “Concrete Kyle” after winning in the NASCAR Nationwide Series at Dover International Speedway on Saturday afternoon. Busch completed the season sweep of Dover’s NASCAR Nationwide Series events in 2010, and in doing so, also set the record for most wins in a season with his 11th victory of the year.
Busch won his third race of the calendar year at Dover, dominating nearly from start to finish to take the 200-mile NASCAR Nationwide Series race. Busch led 192 of 200 laps. The victory comes after Busch won both the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series and NASCAR Nationwide Series races at the Monster Mile in May 2010.
Busch also became the all-time leader in laps led by a NASCAR Nationwide Series driver at the Monster Mile, eclipsing Harry Gant. He is also now tied with Todd Bodine for most wins by a NASCAR Nationwide Series driver at Dover with three. He only missed eclipsing the most laps led record by just one lap. Ryan Newman owns the Dover record with 193 laps led in September 2005.
Logano started on the pole and led the first three laps before Busch passed him and took over from there.
“We were no good on restarts, and we’ve been that way all year,” Logano said.
Carl Edwards finished third, followed by Reed Sorenson and Kevin Harvick.
Trevor Bayne, Paul Menard, Jason Leffler, Justin Allgaier and Ryan Newman, who led five laps during a mid-race caution, completed the top-10.
Brad Keselowski, the current points leader, got spun around late in the race and wound up finishing 17th. Keselowski holds a 320-point lead over Edwards with seven races to go. MiamiHerald.com
