DOVER, Del. (September 20, 2008) — With a committee of crew chiefs — and in the face of some wishful thinking on the part of Mike Bliss — Kyle Busch won Saturday’s Camping World RV Sales 200 Nationwide Series race at Dover International Speedway in dominating fashion.

Busch led 157 of 207 laps in a race that ended with a green-white-checkered-flag finish after Landon Cassill and Steven Wallace collided on Lap 199 to bring out the seventh and final caution and send the event seven laps beyond its scheduled distance.

DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. (Sept. 16, 2008) – Though Talladega and Martinsville rank highest in the “Wild Card of the Chase for the NASCAR Sprint Cup” discussion, Dover deserves a mention.

DOVER, Del. — Same song, different verse.

Points leader Kyle Busch made mincemeat of the competition and Sunday’s Best Buy 400 NASCAR Sprint Cup race at Dover International Speedway.

DOVER, Del. (May 31, 2008) Denny Hamlin extended the domination of Joe Gibbs Racing drivers Saturday with a convincing 1.154-second victory over Carl Edwards in the Heluva Good! 200 NASCAR Nationwide Series race at Dover International Speedway.

The race, which started three hours late because of rain, wasn’t the only victory for Hamlin, who won for the second time this season and the seventh time in his career.

Hamlin also won $200 in side bets with Kyle Busch and Michael Waltrip when teammate Joey Logano, 18, finished sixth in his series debut. Hamlin had bet Logano would finish in the top seven, but for a while, the wagers were in jeopardy.

HUNTERSVILLE, N.C. (May 27, 2008) – At first glance, Joey Logano appears to be a typical 18-year-old. But while the happy-go-lucky teenager enjoys hanging out with friends and playing video games, there’s one big difference between Logano and his peers – the God-given talent to drive a race car.

That talent was discovered at just four years of age when his father, Tom, bought him his first go-kart. Tom watched his son in amazement as he whirled around the property of his Connecticut-based waste management company. That experience led Tom and his wife, Deborah, to enter Joey into quarter-midget competition just two years later. At the tender age of six, a racing career was born.
