After a violent wreck on the final lap wiped out a handful of top contenders, Carl Edwards took the checkered flag in Saturday’s 5-Hour Energy 200 Nationwide Series race at Dover International Speedway.
The wreck erupted as Edwards was racing Joey Logano after a restart on the second attempt at a green-white-checkered-flag finish. Kyle Busch finished second, followed by Reed Sorenson, Ricky Stenhouse Jr. and David Reutimann. NASCAR.com
The victory was Edwards’ third of the season and the 32nd of his career, good for fourth on the career Nationwide victory list.
Elliott Sadler, Kenny Wallace, James Buescher, Aric Almirola and Mike Wallace completed the top-10.
Sadler took over the points lead for the first time in his Nationwide career. He holds a 10-point advantage over Sorenson. Justin Allgaier dropped from first to fifth in the standings (-18) after he crashed late in the race and wound up finishing 29th. MiamiHerald.com
