Loudon, NH (Sports Network) - Kyle Busch made a late-race pass on Joey Logano
for the lead and then held off his Joe Gibbs Racing teammate in the closing
laps to take Saturday's Camping World RV Sales 200 and become the 23rd
different winner in as many Nationwide Series races at New Hampshire Motor
Speedway.
Logano led 108 of 200 laps, which snapped Busch's streak of leading the most
laps in a Nationwide race at eight. But Busch moved around Logano with 35 laps
remaining and went on to record his fifth victory of the season and the 26th
of his career.
"This place is real tough on me for some reason, and it kind of eludes me,"
Busch said. "To beat Joey, he's got a lot of laps around here, so that's
pretty special. That kid's got a lot of talent."
Busch has now won 10 races combined in NASCAR's three national touring series
this year, with three of them coming in the Sprint Cup Series and two in the
Camping World Truck Series.
Logano finished second, followed by Brad Keselowski, Mike Bliss and Kevin
Harvick.
Carl Edwards, Greg Biffle, Scott Speed, Erik Darnell and Jason Leffler
completed the top-10.
On the final lap, Speed bumped Brian Vickers from behind, causing Vickers to
spin around and hit the wall.
"I went around the last corner, just checked up and could not stop in time,
and I got into the back of Brian, and we both went up the track," Speed said.
Vickers ran among the top-five before the incident, but ended up finishing
12th.
During the cool-down lap, Vickers chased down Speed and tapped him several
times from behind as they entered onto pit road.
"(Scott) said we slowed down for the turn," Vickers said. "I don't know how to
get through a turn other than to slow down. I don't know what his problem is.
I don't know if he's frustrated because he runs so bad in the Cup Series. He
just flat ran into us. I've never had a teammate do that before."
Speed and Vickers are Red Bull Racing teammates in Sprint Cup.
Edwards led 51 laps in the early stages, but a tire change mishap during a
round of stops forced Edwards to lose valuable track position. He was never a
factor from there.
With the victory, Busch padded his lead to 162 points over Edwards.
