NASCAR Nationwide Series race gives Joe Gibbs Racing its 75th Nationwide win and its seventh at Dover, the most of all the teams. Its seven wins in 2012 puts it equal with Richard Childress Racing this season.
Earlier on Saturday, Darrell Wallace Jr. won pole position for the Saturday afternoon race with a lap of 23.091s (155.905 mph) on the one-mile oval, the 18-year-old's first Nationwide pole in the four races that he's started in the series since his début at Iowa in May this year. His time was 0.129s ahead of Justin Allgaier, while Cup regular Logano had lined up on the second row alongside current championship leader Elliott Sadler.
Austin Dillon topped the sole practice session held on Friday with a lap of 23.485s (153.289 mph) putting him 0.119s ahead of Sam Hornish Jr.
Following the race, Sadler's lead in the championship is up to 9pts over Ricky Stenhouse Jr. with Austin Dillon also still in the running for the 2012 title albeit 25pts off Sadler with five races remaining.
