LIVING HISTORY EVENT
In his third career start, Joey Logano became the third straight first time winner at Kentucky Speedway. Logano won the race from the pole, which was his second straight pole in the NASCAR Nationwide Series. Logano has won in everything he's raced in, including a historic ARCA victory at Rockingham in May, and he's only 18.
Much of the race was dominated by "Wild Thing" Kyle Busch, who went fromlast to first in 40 laps. But, Kyle would lose the lead on lap 147 when Logano went back by him shortly after a restart. On lap 164, Kyle Busch's night came to an end as he got loose and slammed the wall.
From there, it was home sweet home for Joey Logano. Logano, at 18 years, 21 days old, broke the age record of 18 years, 10 months, 26 days set by Casey Atwood in 1999.

The only other eventful moment of the evening occoured when Carl Edwards and Steven Wallace tangoed under caution. A miscommunication caused Carl to believe he was ahead of Steven Wallace, when in fact that was not the case. Wallace was one lap down and Edwards was two laps down. Wallace was warming up his tires when Edwards tried to get around and the two colllided on the track.
Edwards took the blame, telling ESPN2 it was a miscommunication. The damage was not too severe for Steven, he'd finish in the top-20.
