Elliott Sadler provided the perfect distraction Saturday with his Xfinity Series win at Darlington Raceway. In this one, Busch's Joe Gibbs Racing teammate, Hamlin, made a late charge and nosed in front two laps from the end. He had opened a wide gap on the field until Hamlin, who's won four Xfinity races at Darlington, steadily ran him down. It looked like Hamlin would send Sadler to another second at Darlington as Sadler bobbled near the wall with two laps left and Hamlin ducked underneath and nosed ahead. It was Dixon's second pole of the season and 25th of his career, tying him with Paul Tracy for 11th all-time.
