(AP) -- Elliott Sadler took the lead after a late caution and held on down the stretch to win his first Nationwide race in 14 years at Phoenix International Raceway on Saturday.

A former full-time driver in the Sprint Cup series, Sadler started eighth and didn't get near the lead until the end of the race.

He passed Brad Keselowski after a caution with 33 laps left and wasn't really challenged on the way to his sixth career Nationwide win.

Keselowski finished second and defending series champion Ricky Stenhouse Jr. was third.

Kevin Harvick led the most laps, but finished fifth behind Austin Dillon after pit strategy at the last caution backfired.
