The No. 3 Rookie Austin Dillon finds him self in victory lane after dominating at Kentucky's Feed the Children 300.
Dillon who drivers for hes Grandfather Richard Childress, Claimed the pole earlier that day and poised for a Breakout performance.
Kevin Harvick started on outside of front row with Dillon. Brad Keslowski, Sam Hornish Jr, Riicky Stenhouse Jr. round out top five when green flag drop.
Austin had best car out there in on Saturday night, and some good pit stops.
One name which was primarily missing was Joey Logano. Logano has won five times this season in the Nationwide Series and with the Sprint Cup and Nationwide Series at the same track. It seemed as though there was no doubt that he would participate in Friday's festivities.
There was only two caution throughout the 200 laps event.
But now, Dillon can etch his name into the record books as the fourth first-time winner at Kentucky. Prior to the 22-year-old Dillon, David Gilliland (2006), Stephen Leicht (2007) and the aforementioned Logano (2008) all won their first career Nationwide races at the track.
Now that Dillon has captured his first career Nationwide win, perhaps, the biggest name yet to win is now Danica Patrick.
With Sadler's ninth-place effort, he lost the points lead to Friday's winner—Austin Dillon. The rookie is now just four points behind Sadler in the points standing.
The Nationwide Series will head to Daytona next weekend for the Subway Jalapeno 250. Just like Talladega, Daytona is a crapshoot. Anything can happen, and it will undoubtedly be an exciting race.
We'll find out next Saturday when the green flag will be waved for the first time at 7:30 p.m. on ESPN. Be sure to tune in.
