Dover, Del. ? Winston Cup-bound teenager Brian Vickers took the lead in the Busch Series standings with a victory Saturday at Dover International Speedway.

It was the third win of the season for Vickers, at 19 the youngest full-time NASCAR driver. He won in part because of a quick pit stop and took the points lead from David Green, who crashed early in the Stacker 200 and finished 31st.

“The boys got me out first and that’s what gave me the race,” Vickers said. “But I hate it for David, because I wanted to race him for it.”

Vickers is moving up to NASCAR’s top series next year, replacing Joe Nemechek with powerhouse Hendrick Motorsports. The win enabled Vickers to tie Nemechek and fellow Winston Cup competitor Kevin Harvick for the most in the Busch series.

Former series champion Green, who came in to the race 48 points ahead of Vickers, fell to fourth. Green was spun out on 16th lap by Scott Riggs, who moved from third to second in the standings, 32 points behind Vickers. Riggs took responsibility for the crash.

“It was definitely my fault,” he said. “David was struggling in the corner, and I got into the back of him so slightly. But that’s all it takes.”

Also involved in the crash was former series champion Jeff Green, who took a Busch ride when Shane Hmiel was fired after NASCAR suspended him Thursday for violating its substance abuse policy.

Vickers went into the lead for the first time on the 36th of 200 laps on The Monster Mile, but fell out of it during green-flag pit stops midway through the race.
