Joey Logano: First Win at Kentucky

The Nationwide Series Meijer 300, in Kentucky; was Kyle Busch's to lose.

He started 43rd and by the end of lap 1, was 25th. By lap 20, in the top 10 and it only took him 40 laps to take the lead and cruise.

But as it stands, Kyle's luck struck and with less than 40 laps to go, Kyle went away.

As Kyle was chasing down Joey Logano, things looked like they were going to get very interesting between the two new stars of the NASCAR Nationwide Series when suddenly Kyle Busch lost it coming out of turn 2, all by himself and slams into the outside wall, destroying the car. Destroyed might be a strong word. He just made it useless to race.

With 31 laps to go, the green flag flew for the restart and Joey Logano took the flag, kept the lead, pulled away and got his first Nationwide Series win and became the youngest winner in the series history.

Performance Delivered as Expected
Joey Logano has arrived and he celebrated his first win in proper style. His victory burn out flattened both rear tires and he had to limp the car to victory circle. As it should be.

Joey was followed across the finish line by Scott Wimmer, Mike Wallace, Brad Keselowski and Bryan Clauson.

After the race when Kyle Busch was asked if he is going to Milwaukee, he quickly said no.

One Other Notable Event
Steven Wallace and Carl Edwards got together under caution, but it was more of a spotter communication thing than something between them, like it was last year at this same track!

Congratulations to Joey!!
