Denny Hamlin dominated Friday night's Bubba Burger 250 and made it two for two on his home turf. The Chesterfield, Virginia native held off Paul Menard in a green-white-checkered finish to collect his 11th NASCAR Nationwide Series win.

 

"I started 11th today and I start 11th tomorrow," said Hamlin.

 

Ricky Stenhouse, Jr. ran out of fuel while running second and brought out a caution that would send the race into overtime. Hamlin and Menard lined up one-two on the ensuing restart with Menard challenging Hamlin until another yellow flag was displayed on the last lap for an incident involving Derrike Cope.

 

Menard finished second followed by Justin Allgaier, Elliott Sadler and Brad Keselowski.

 

Fuel played a role in the race as Carl Edwards, Stenhouse, Jr. and Scott Wimmer all ran out of gas. Polesitter Edwards ran second with a strong car before going five laps in arrears while pitting under green. Wimmer was running inside the top-10 when his tank went dry. Stenhouse, Jr. finished 21st, Wimmer 24th and Edwards 25th.

 

Justin Allgaier continues to lead the 2011 Nationwide point standings as the series heads to Darlington.
