2012 Richmond 250 Winner - Busch edges charging Hamlin for KBM's first win

By the thinnest of margins, in a breathtaking finish that featured two cars sideways and side-by-side at the finish line, Kurt Busch beat Denny Hamlin to the checkered flag by .062 seconds to win Friday night's Virginia 529 College Savings 250 at Richmond International Raceway.

Busch delivered the first-ever Nationwide Series victory to the team owned by his brother, Kyle Busch. The win was Busch's fourth in the series and his first on a short track. Hamlin came up 2 feet short after a phenomenal drive from the rear of the field after a pit-road mistake.

Pole-sitter Kevin Harvick ran third, followed by defending series champion Ricky Stenhouse Jr. and Sam Hornish Jr. Elliott Sadler finished sixth to cling to the series points lead by two points over Stenhouse.

Busch parted ways with Penske Racing at the end of last season and took a Sprint Cup job with James Finch's Phoenix Racing this year. He and Kyle are sharing driving duties in the No. 54 Monster Energy Toyota in the start-up Nationwide program. For Kyle Busch, it was difficult to contain the excitement of the first victory with his own equipment.

2011 winner - Denny Hamlin won the Bubba Burger 250 Nationwide series evening race

Denny Hamlin dominated the Richmond Nationwide series evening race, leading for a total of 199 laps out of 251 in the Joe Gibbs Racing #20 before claiming his 11th series career win. However the end of the race was still a hard battle, as a late yellow flag set up a two-lap shootout between Hamlin and Paul Menard for the win.

Hamlin was as much relieved as happy to win, admitting that he'd looked on this weekend as a make-or-break for his season chances in the Sprint Cup after a lacklustre start that sees him 17th in that series' championship standings.
