LOUDON, N.H.- Nascar rookie Joey Logano made all the right moves to seel up the first victory of his young Nascar career. The win at New Hampshire made Logano the youngest driver to ever win a Sprint Cup Series race. Taking a hard fought second place finish was the No. 24 Dupont sponsored machine of Jeff Gordan. The No. 2 Miller Lite racer of Kurt Busch came away with third.

David Reutimann raced his way through the field most of the day to take a fourth place finish, while Tony Stewart rounded out the top five in his Old Spice/Office Depot sponsored Chevy.

Hendrick Motorsports dominated the race. Jeff Gordan found the top spot and stayed their consistantly throughout the race, behind four great pit stops by the Dupont crew. The No. 2 of Kurt Busch and Gordan battled back and forth for the top spot throughout the day. Tony Stewart hung with the leaders, shooting to the lead on some occasions.

When the rains came, Logano played his cards right and emerged victorious. This is only one of many wins to come for this promising rookie.

Tony Stewart still holds the top spot in the points race with 2,524 points. Jeff Gordan is right on his heel in second place with 2,455. In third is Gordan's Hendrick teammate Jimmie Johnson with 2,355 points. In fourth is the No. 2 of Kurt Busch with 2,254 points, while Carl Edwards stands in fifth with 2, 157 points on the year.
