Heluva Good 200 Betting OddsNASCAR Betting Online: The 5-Hour Energy 200 jumps off the starting line at Dover International Speedway on Saturday, June 2, as the last race of the first third of the NASCAR Nationwide Series.  Taking place in Dover, DE, this event will be televised on ESPN at 2:00 PM ET.  Make sure to use this event to bet on the NASCAR Nationwide Series, as the fast paced action is sure to provide big time excitement.

Last year at the Heluva Good! 200, Kyle Busch brought home his first ever victory at the event, finishing the race in 1:48:53, the third fastest time since 1999, despite the extra five laps due to the Green-white-checker finish, the first ever in the history of the event.

Believe it or not, the 5-Hour Energy 200 was not always the name of this nearly thirty year old event.  First known as the Sportsman 200, it was quickly changed to the Budweiser 200, the longest standing title, lasting eight years and seeing seven different winners.

The Dover International Speedway opened in 1969 and is the home of six different NASCAR events, including two each in the Sprint Cup Series and the Nationwide Series.

The Monster Mile has just a mile-long lap on the unique concrete surface.  The oval has been a favorite of many NASCAR drivers, but none more so than perhaps Mark Martin.  Martin holds the records for most top 5s with 22, and most to 10s with 30.  Martin also hold the record for fastest race in a Sprint Cup Series event, averaging 132.719 mph.

Look for some of NASCAR's top drivers to brave the Monster Mile in May, and look to bring home a sizable purse.

2011 NASCAR Nationwide Series: Heluva Good! 200 - Race Results

Brad Keselowski raced to his first NASCAR Nationwide Series win of the season Saturday, taking the lead during a restart with two laps left at Dover International Speedway.

Logano was second on the first anniversary of his Nationwide debut. He took the blame for pushing Busch too hard.

Kyle Busch had led a race-best 108 laps and was leading on a final restart with three laps to go, but appeared to have a tire go down shortly after the restart, allowing Keselowski and Joey Logano to sneak by.

Keselowski took advantage of Busch’s misfortune, while Logano, who was trailing Busch when his ride pulled up lame, settled for runner-up honors.
