Busch is driving the No. 54 Toyota for Joe Gibbs Racing, and Logano is behind the wheel of Team Penske’s No. 22 Ford. Right now, Penske’s No. 22 team holds a 37-point lead over Gibbs’ No. 54 team in the Nationwide owners’ championship standings. Six races remain.<\/p>\n
The 22 car has been to victory lane four times this season with drivers Brad Keselowski and Ryan Blaney, who is a regular in the Camping World Truck Series, but Logano has yet to win a Nationwide race this season.<\/p>\n
“I really want to get a win, and I think we will,” Logano said. “(Dover) has always been one of my favorite racetracks and the one I’ve run the best at. I just want to get this No. 22 team in victory lane again and help extend the point lead in the owners’ championship. That’s pretty important to all of us right now.”<\/p>\n
The No. 54 team has won five Nationwide races this season — four with Busch and one with Sam Hornish Jr.<\/p>\n
When Nationwide most recently competed at Dover earlier this year, Busch led 124 of 200 laps. Logano started on the pole and ran in front for a total of 58 laps but ended up finishing third.<\/p>\n
“I love that place, and it’s fun to race there,” Busch said. “I went there when I was 18 to race in the Nationwide Series for my first time. It will scare you the first time you race there. You carry so much speed at that racetrack…It’s definitely a roller-coaster ride, and you need to treat it like it’s fun and not to be scared of the place, I think, because you can get so much out of that place.”<\/p>\n
Rookie Chase Elliott enters this 200-mile race with a 20-point lead over second place and JR Motorsports teammate Regan Smith in the drivers’ standings. Ty Dillon, also a rookie this season, is 38 points behind.<\/p>\n
Forty-two teams are on the entry list for the Dover 200.<\/p>\n
