Busch denies Logano second straight Nationwide win at Chicago

Autoracing Betting Lines

07/09/2010 - Joliet, IL (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Kyle Busch had the dominant car, but needed a little bit of luck at the end to win Friday's Dollar General 300 Nationwide Series race at Chicagoland Speedway.

Despite leading a race-high 110 laps, Busch had to overcome a penalty for speeding on pit road early in the 300-mile race. Busch ran eighth after his penalty, but reclaimed the lead shortly after a restart on lap 81.

Joey Logano passed his Joe Gibbs Racing teammate and took the lead for the first time just after a restart with 53 laps remaining.

Trevor Bayne's late-race accident in the closing laps setup a green-white- checkered finish. Busch held the third spot for the restart, but quickly grabbed second when points leader Brad Keselowski ran out of fuel. Busch then chased down Logano and made the winning pass with less than two laps to go.

"I knew I couldn't spin my tires, and I knew I couldn't let him force me too high, because it was real dirty, and that's how I lost the lead to Joey earlier the first time," Busch said.

Just after Busch took the white flag for the final lap, a six-car wreck occurred on the frontstretch, with Busch winning the race under caution.

"We didn't have the track position when it mattered, and the car got really tight on us," Busch said. "[The team] never gave up. They knew I had it in me. I didn't think I had it in me."

Busch captured his seventh victory of the season and the 37th of his Nationwide career, which moved him into sole possession of second on the series' all-time race winners list. He surpassed Kevin Harvick, who started on the pole and finished seventh in this race.

"To win as many as we've won and be successful as JGR has been, it's fun every week," he said. "It's always cool to come out here and put on a good show."

Busch also won at Chicagoland in 2008. He joins Harvick as the only repeat race winners here.

Logano won last year's race at Chicagoland, but came up short on his bid for a second consecutive victory at the one-and-a-half-mile track.

"Kyle did a good job," Logano said. "He did what he was supposed to do. He drove me into the turn and got me loose. They beat me. I'm embarrassed more than anything else."

Rookie Brian Scott finished a career-best third, with David Reutimann and Jason Leffler rounding out the top-five.

While Keselowski wound up 21st, Carl Edwards finished sixth and trimmed 50 points from Keselowski's lead. Keselowski now holds a 227-point advantage over Edwards.

Danica Patrick, making her fifth Nationwide start, finished two laps behind in 24th.

"I definitely learned a lot," Patrick said. "It was really nice to run a clean race with no accidents."

Patrick has competed in five IndyCar races at Chicagoland, but this was her first in a stock car event here.
