Denny Hamlin scored his second win in eight Nationwide Series starts this year with a dominating performance in Saturday's Heluva Good 200 at the Dover International Speedway.

Hamlin showed the rest of the NWS field a clean pair of heels for most of Saturday's rain delayed race around the high banks of the concrete surfaced Monster Mile with second place finisher Carl Edwards admitting that the Joe Gibbs driver was the class of the field.

In 14 Nationwide races so far this season Hamlin's Joe Gibbs team has now won an incredible ten times with Hamlin, Kyle Busch and Tony Stewart sharing the wins and for the first quarter of the race it looked as though Busch, driving for Braun Racing this weekend, would add to his own personal tally before a collision with teammate Jason Leffler forced him out.

Hamlin was only too glad to pick up the pieces and calmly reeled off the final 100 laps with few challengers to move into the top 20 in the overall championship despite not contesting six races so far this year.

Defending series champ Edwards, who is running for the Nationwide Championship again this year, kept up his title challenge with his distant second place finish with David Stremme the first of the non Cup drivers home in third place.

David Reutimann and Greg Biffle completed the top five but the story of the race was the hotly anticipated debut of Joe Gibbs' latest starlet, teenager Joey Logano, who took an excellent sixth place on his NASCAR bow.

Brad Keselowski, Mike Wallace, championship leader Clint Bowyer and Kasey Kahne completed the top ten with Dario Franchitti a lead lap 15th in his first race since breaking his ankle at Talladega back in April.

Busch retirement means that Bowyer extends his points lead to 121 over Bowyer with Edwards 144 back in third and Reutimann and further 20 points adrift in fourth.
