Logano wins race, aims for title

Joey Logano won the race, completed a season sweep at New Hampshire International Speedway and clinched the NASCAR Busch East Series championship in his rookie season. All in one day.

Logano led the final 12 laps of the Aubuchon Hardware 125 en route to his fifth win of the season and second at NHIS on Friday. The Middletown, Conn., native, who now drives for Joe Gibbs Racing, took the lead for the final time on the same lap that championship hopeful Matt Kobyluck's day ended with a trip into the turn three wall.

Kobyluck finished 33rd after tangling with Scarborough's Kelly Moore and fell to third in the standings behind Sean Caisse, who finished second and is 171 points behind Logano with one race left at Dover, Del., next week.

With only 30 cars starting at Dover, Logano, 17, is guaranteed at least 73 points there. He needs only to start the final race to officially win the championship and become the youngest champion in Busch East history and the first rookie of the year to win the title.
