The victory was Hamlin's third of the season and eighth of his Nationwide Series career.

Hamlin had fallen two seconds off the pace after his final pit stop, but rebounded when he made the pass on Edwards for the lead on lap 89.

Hamlin drove the same car that Tony Stewart won last week at New Hampshire. Stewart also drove the No.20 Toyota to victory in the series season-opener at Daytona in February.

But it wasn't an easy win for Hamlin as Colin Braun spun and smacked the wall with two laps to go, setting up a green-white-checkered finish. On the final restart, Hamlin quickly pulled ahead of the field, while Carl Edwards was bumped into the infield grass, but made his way back into the pack.

Edwards also had a near miss with pole sitter Bryan Clauson while trying to pass him just past the halfway point. Both drivers were running among the top-five at the time.

Clauson led the field to the green, but was quickly shuffled back in the field as Clint Bowyer moved his way to top spot. Bowyer ran in front for six laps before Dale Earnhardt, Jr. inherited the lead.

The first caution of the night came on lap 14 when Josh Wise spun. Earnhardt, Jr. opted for fuel only on his first stop. Brad Keselowski, Earnhardt, Jr.'s protege, took on two new tires and drove off pit lane just behind Earnhardt, Jr. On the restart, Earnhardt, Jr. ran second to Shane Huffman, who did not pit. But Earnhardt, Jr. got drafting help from Keselowski to pull ahead of Huffman. Three laps later, Edwards made the pass on Earnhardt, Jr. and ran out in front until the next round of stops during the second caution.

Keselowski used pit strategy to his advantage. He took two left-side tires only and was the fastest off of pit lane. Keselowski's strategy worked well for 28 laps when he led the way. Then the tires on his No.88 Chevrolet began to wear as he fell back in the field.

Hamlin, Busch and Earnhardt, Jr. easily passed Keselowski. Keselowski would fall back to seventh before making his final stop. Hamlin and Earnhardt, Jr. exchanged the lead before teams came in for their final round of stop during the green flag with less than 25 laps remaining.

Keselowski made his stop for four fresh tires with 23 laps to go. Hamlin relinquished the lead two laps later.

Edwards won the battle off of pit lane and put himself back in the lead after the round of stops, but Busch was looking to make the move around Edwards. Earnhardt, Jr. and Keselowski were also in pursuit of Edwards.

Busch, Edwards and Hamlin swapped the lead for the next several laps before Hamlin ran out in front for the final 15 laps.

Earnhardt, Jr., Bowyer and Keselowski completed the top-five.

Bowyer will take a 202-point lead over new second-place Keselowski to the next event scheduled for Friday night, July 11th at the Chicagoland Speedway.
