Denny Hamlin held off Nationwide Series points leader Clint Bowyer to win the Kansas Lottery 300 at Kansas Speedway on Saturday. Hamlin led 99 laps en route to his fourth Nationwide Series victory of the season and ninth in his career. “Our car was not so great at the beginning, probably a mid top-10 car for the first 75 laps, then we had one adjustment and the car really took off.” Hamlin said.

This win gave Joe Gibbs Racing a total of 17 victories this season. “Since we took the magnets off the gas pedal we can really push the accelerator down now.” Hamlin said.

Also this win allowed Toyota to clinch its first NNS manufacturer's championship in its second year in series competition. “It was a great transition over to Toyota. They made it easy for us to change to them. They've done such a great job with the support for our race teams over on the Cup side and the Nationwide side. I've enjoyed the partnership that we've had with Toyota.” Hamlin said.

David Ragan finished third, Carl Edwards fourth and Matt Kenseth finished fifth.

Bowyer increased his points lead to 196 points over Edwards in the series standings.

Kyle Busch had another bad day. He had a loose lug nut and was coming back into the pits on lap 153 when Mike Bliss hit him from behind sending him into the wall. “I had a lug nut come loose and got run over by the 1.” Busch said.
