MADISON, IL.- Nationwide points leader Kyle Busch took another step in his pursuit of the 2009 Nationwide crown, winning the Dodge Dealers 250 at Gateway International on Saturday night.
Busch fended off a hard charging Reed Sorenson to take the victory. After a strong second place run from Sorenson, we find the always exciting Carl Edwards in third. Fourth went to Mike Bliss, who moved up one spot to sixth in the points race with his fourth place finish. Taking fifth place honors was Brad Coleman.
Busch still leads the points race with 3,121 points on the season. In second sits Carl Edwards with 2,909. Third is Brad Keselowski with 2,744, while Jason Leffler sits in fourth with 2,648. Rounding out the top five in the 2009 Nationwide points chase is Joey Logano, who has 2,395 points this season.
The next event on the Nationwide Series racing schedule is Saturday, July 25th, when the Nationwide racers try to tame O'Reilly Raceway Park in Clermont, IN. All the action kicks off at 7:30 p.m. Check your local listing for start times.
