Logano Becomes Youngest Series Winner

In only his third career start, Joey Logano became the youngest winning driver in Nationwide Series history. At 18 years and 21 days, Logano took the checkered flag at the Saturday night Meijer 300 at Kentucky Speedway.

"It's definitely awesome," Logano said.

Hear what else Joey Logano had to say in a post-race interview.

Logano won the pole for the 300-miler, his second in as many weeks, and led 76 of the 200 laps, second only to Joe Gibbs Racing teammate Kyle Busch. Busch led a race-high 85.

Logano took the lead from Busch on Lap 147, passing him on the outside of Turn 4. On Lap 164, Busch's charge to reclaim the position ended after he lost control of his Toyota on the backstretch, spinning and slamming the outside retaining wall.

Busch started the event 43rd after flying into Kentucky following the Craftsman Truck Series race in Michigan. He slid into the lead for the first time on Lap 40.

With the race running under the green flag to the finish, Logano edged out Scott Wimmer by 2.259 seconds.

Mike Wallace picked up a position to finish third at the finish after Jason Leffler lost a tire on the last lap. Leffler finished 16th.

Nashville winner Brad Keselowski and rookie Bryan Clauson finished fourth and fifth. Clauson who turns 19 on Sunday, notched his career-best finish.

Race attendance was a track-record 73,195. It was the eighth consecutive sellout at the facility that Speedway Motorsports Inc. agreed to purchase earlier this year.
