Superspeedway.<br \/>\n\u00a0<br \/>\n\u201cToday we didn\u2019t have the winning car, we made the winning car,\u201d said Busch, who now has 26 career Nationwide Series victories in 154 starts.\u00a0 \u201cSometimes when we\u2019re out front we\u2019re content with what we\u2019ve got and we end up getting beat in the end.\u00a0 The show is stolen from us.\u00a0 But this is great.\u00a0 (Jason) Ratcliff (crew chief) and myself talked this past week about what we needed to do in order to get better, in order to take this team to victory lane instead of finishing second week in and week out.\u00a0 This is a good step in the right direction.\u00a0 I\u2019m really proud of Jason and all of these guys here.<br \/>\n\u00a0<br \/>\n\u201cThe pit crew was phenomenal today.\u00a0 It was really a methodical race.\u00a0 We really had to plan our way through there.\u00a0 We had to strategize, we had to work our way up one car at a time.\u00a0 I don\u2019t think we put a mark on this thing all day long.\u00a0 The Z-Line Designs Toyota is pretty clean.\u201d<br \/>\n\u00a0<br \/>\nThe win further extended Busch\u2019s lead in the championship point standings, as he now carries a 162-point advantage over his nearest pursuer, Carl Edwards, with 19 races still remaining.<br \/>\n\u00a0<br \/>\nBusch started ninth and led twice for 37 laps.\u00a0 He made his final drive to victory by passing Logano on lap 165 of the 200-lap race, and despite Logano having led six times for a race-high 108 laps, he was no match for Busch in the race\u2019s final stages.<br \/>\n\u00a0<br \/>\n\u201cI may not show it as much, but you\u2019re never happy about finishing second,\u201d Logano said.\u00a0 \u201cIt\u2019s always tough, but it\u2019s cool to see both Gibbs cars up there week in and week out over here in the Nationwide Series.\u00a0 It\u2019s really cool.\u00a0 It seems like the last few races it\u2019s been me and Kyle coming down to the wire like that.\u201d<br \/>\n\u00a0<br \/>\nThe Logano\/Busch duo has finished 1-2 five times in the past two seasons, but Saturday\u2019s race at New Hampshire marked the first time Busch came out on top.<br \/>\n\u00a0<br \/>\n\u201cJoey\u2019s a great racer and really has a lot of potential, and he\u2019s showing it for sure in the Nationwide Series as well as what he\u2019s been able to do in the (NASCAR Sprint) Cup Series,\u201d Busch said.\u00a0 \u201cWe\u2019re proud of him, and he\u2019ll be here a long time at Joe Gibbs Racing.\u201d<br \/>\n\u00a0<br \/>\nFinishing third behind Busch and Logano was Brad Keselowski, while Mike Bliss and Kevin Harvick rounded out the top-five.\u00a0 Edwards, Greg Biffle, Scott Speed, rookie Erik Darnell and Jason Leffler comprised the remainder of the top-10.<br \/>\n\u00a0<br \/>\nThe race featured three caution periods for 15 laps, with 10 drivers failing to finish the race.<br \/>\n\u00a0<br \/>\nThe next event on the Nationwide Series schedule is the July 3 Subway Jalapeno 250 at Daytona (Fla.)
