Kyle Busch wins Nationwide from pole

DOVER, Del. -- Clint Bowyer saw his target and hurried off pit road. Angry after a hard lick only moments earlier, Bowyer sped toward Denny Hamlin and sent him straight into the wall.

Bowyer's retaliatory hit got him instantly parked by NASCAR. His race was over and Hamlin's was spoiled.

Kyle Busch missed all the fun on his way to Victory Lane. He dominated from the pole and won the Nationwide Series race at Dover International Speedway on Saturday, a day after he ran out of fuel at the end of the Trucks Series race.

"I knew we had a great race car, and if we could just get through the restarts and not have anybody turn me sideways, we'd win," Busch said.

The final laps were marred by bumps and wrecks that necessitated a red flag and a green-white-checkered finish.

And what a finish.

Bowyer was rear-ended by Hamlin on one of the late restarts. Bowyer spent little time stewing on pit road, driving right out and into Hamlin. Bowyer was ordered straight to the NASCAR hauler.

"I just clipped him on the way by. It was nothing intentional," Hamlin said. "I just misjudged it, barely. It's hard to blame it on not running these cars a lot, but I just didn't know how close I was."

The race was red-flagged for just under 12 minutes with less than 10 laps remaining after an accident left fluid and mangled cars all over the track.

"It seems like we can always find something in the last 10 laps to get a caution," Busch said.

■ NHRA -- At Commerce, Ga., Larry Dixon qualified first in Top Fuel at the NHRA Southern Nationals.

Dixon's run at 316.08 mph in 3.822 seconds put him atop the category heading into today's eliminations, seeking his fourth win at Atlanta Dragway.

Ashley Force Hood (Funny Car), Allen Johnson (Pro Stock) and Hector Arana (Pro Stock Motorcycle) led their categories.

■ FORMULA ONE -- At Monaco, Mark Webber was fastest in qualifying for the Monaco Grand Prix, giving Red Bull its sixth straight start from the pole position this Formula One season.

The Australian turned a lap in 1 minute, 13.826 seconds around the winding street circuit to claim his fourth career pole, a week after his wire-to-wire victory in the Spanish GP.
