Hamlin wins another for Joe Gibbs Racing

Hamlin won his second 2008 NASCAR Nationwide Series victory Saturday at
Dover International Speedway, extending the domination of his Joe Gibbs
Racing team in the series.
Hamlin bested Carl Edwards with a 1.154-second lead at the finish line in the Heluva Good! 200, which started three hours late due to rain.
His win, the seventh in his career, was the eighth straight time and 10th time this year that a Joe Gibbs Racing driver has won a Nationwide Series race.
Celebrating with Hamlin was teammate Joey Logano, who finished sixth in his series debut.
David Stremme held off a challenge from fourth-place finisher David Reutimann. In the closing laps, Greg Biffle passed Logano to finish fifth. Rounding out the top ten were Brad Keselowski, Mike Wallace, series points leader Clint Bowyer and Kasey Kahne.
“It was fairly uneventful,” Hamlin said. “We just bided our time at various times during the race and pulled away at the end. If you can get out there in clean air, your car can really take off. We definitely improved on our car, and I think our car was the strongest it had been all day at the end.”
