DARLINGTON, S.C. -- Joey Logano wrecked leader Elliott Sadler five laps from the end, then broke free during a green-white-checkered finish at Darlington Raceway for his second straight Nationwide Series victory Friday night. Logano was in third place after the fifth caution period tightened up the race at the end. Logano bumped Sadler at the restart, turning the lead car into the wall. Logano then shot past Joe Gibbs Racing teammate Denny Hamlin during NASCARs version of overtime and held on for his third series victory of the season. Logano said hed used bump-drafting tactic with Sadler earlier in the race and was trying to again help get the Nationwide regular out front. When Sadlers car turned right into the wall, "my heart dropped," Logano said. "You dont want to be the guy that does something like that," Logano continued. "But at no point in my mind did I think, Man, Im going to wreck him to win the race." Once it happened and Logano was through without damage, his thoughts turned to victory. "Youve got to find a way to put it behind you and do your job and win the race," he said. Logano left Sadler a voice mail and said he was off to seek him out after post-race interviews. Sadler was visibly angry when he left the car, pacing and grimacing while his team inspected the damage. Sadler said he understood what Logano was doing, but he needed to show awareness of how treacherous Darlington can be. "You just dont bump draft every place you go, especially not at a place like Darlington," Sadler said. Logano apologized to Sadler on the radio moments after the incident. "Tell Elliott that I didnt mean to do that," he said. "I was trying to push him out ahead like the last restart. He started spinning his tires" Hamlin finished second, giving him five top-two placings in his seven Nationwide races here. Brad Keselowski was third followed by Sam Hornish Jr. and Austin Dillon. Two high-profile first-timers at Darlington finished on the lead lap: Danica Patrick was 12th while extreme sports star Travis Pastrana was 17th in his second-ever series race. For much of the night, this race looked like Hamlins. He moved in front early are led for 102 of the 147 laps. Hamlin was ahead by nearly seven seconds with 20 laps to go when Kurt Busch hit the wall to bring out the fourth caution flag. Sadler took two tires as the leaders pitted and beat the field out to move in front. He held the spot only 12 laps until Brendan Gaughans wreck set up the decisive restart. Logano bumped Sadler as the cars came to the line, eventually sending the Nationwide Series regular right into the outside wall and leaving his car badly wrecked. "Its just a shame, man," said Sadler, who ended 24th. Logano quickly took control of the green-while-checkered finish as he shot past Hamlin to open up a lead of several car lengths. Loganos win was the sixth in the past seven Nationwide events at Darlington for Joe Gibbs Racing drivers. Loganos success on restarts was crucial to the win, his crew chief Adam Stevens said. "We werent quite as good as (Hamlin), but Joey was exceptional on the restarts and we used that to our advantage," Stevens said. Hamlin said engine problems robbed his team of power to compete with Logano at the end. "We just cant keep dominating these races and not win them," Hamlin said. Ricky Stenhouse Jr., who started from the poll, finished sixth and took a 23-point lead over Sadler in the series standings. Brian Scott was seventh, followed by Busch in eighth, James Buescher in ninth and Cole Whitt in 10th. For Patrick, it was her third top-15 finish in her past four Nationwide races in her first season in NASCAR. It also ended a harried day of practice and qualifying in Sprint Cup and Nationwide in her first-ever tour of "The Lady in Black." Pastrana also made it through on a circuit he said at first had him as "scared" as hed ever been driving in NASCAR. "With rally, theres certain times that theres a 100-foot cliffs or trees or snow or fog or whatever and thats scary," Pastrana said. "But this, you know whats coming up and the fact that it is still scary is still overwhelming." Cheap NFL Jerseys .

Hours later, he was out of work. The Dolphins terminated the six-time Pro Bowl receivers contract about 24 hours after he was arrested in a domestic battery case involving his wife. Johnson had been released from jail on $2,500 bond earlier Sunday after his wife accused him of head-butting her during an argument in front of their home. Johnson was charged with simple domestic battery, a misdemeanour. The confrontation came barely a month after Johnson married Evelyn Lozada, who is on the reality TV show "Basketball Wives." The 34-year-old Johnson had been battling for a spot on the team after a disappointing season with the New England Patriots in 2011. Following Sundays practice, coach Joe Philbin said he would meet soon with Johnson. "Were going to deal with this," Philbin said. "Were not going to waste time. ... Were all in this thing together. Everybody that sets foot in this building, were all held to a high standard." Only five days earlier, Philbin said Johnsons roster spot could be in jeopardy if he didnt temper his freewheeling behaviour. Johnson annoyed the coach by frequently using profanity during a session with reporters. Johnsons defence attorney, Adam Swickle, said an order has been issued that prevents Johnson from contacting Lozada. Swickle declined to comment further. Johnson -- who recently changed his name from Chad Ochocinco -- was arrested Saturday after Lozada confronted him about a receipt she found for a box of condoms, police said. According to an arrest affidavit, Lozada said she was taking groceries into their home when she found the receipt in the car trunk. When the two were seated back in the car, they began talking about the receipt and their marriage. Thats when Johnson got upset and head-butted his wife, the report said. Lozada ran to a neighbours house and called police. A responding officer said Lozada had a 3-inch cut on her forehead, accordinng to the affidavit, while Johnson did not have any visible marks or bruises.dddddddddddd When questioned by police, he confirmed there was an argument over the receipt, but said his wife had head-butted him. Even before his arrest, Johnson was battling to salvage his career. He was released by the Patriots after totalling only 15 receptions last season. He dropped the lone pass thrown his way Friday night in the Dolphins first exhibition game. News of the arrest spread quickly Saturday, an off day for the team. "I was shocked," tight end Charles Clay said. "Of course, you dont want things like that to happen." Johnson has long been known for outlandish antics that annoyed his teammates as well as coaches. Philbin, a first-year head coach, talked with his players about Johnsons arrest before the player was released. "I reminded them that on April 10 in our first team meetings, I said, Guys, Id love to stand up here and tell you were never going to have a problem here in Miami," Philbin said. "Do we want high-character guys? Yes. All 31 other coaches are going to say the same thing. But I specifically told them on April 10 that there will be problems that arise and you have to deal with them honestly and openly and directly. Youve got to learn from mistakes and move on, and you cant hide from the problem." If convicted, Johnson faces a maximum penalty of one year in jail and a $1,000 fine. He could also receive community service, probation or anger management classes. Johnson was known as Ochocinco for the past four seasons but changed his name back to Johnson after his July 4 wedding. The name was a playful reference to his uniform No. 85. Johnson and Lozada were prominent in the recent first episode of HBOs "Hard Knocks: Training Camp with the Miami Dolphins." VH1s "Basketball Wives" is filmed in Miami and also features Shaunie ONeal, the former wife of former NBA star Shaquille ONeal. Lozada is the former fiancee of NBA player Antoine Walker. ' ' '
