Sam's Town 300 - Las Vegas Motor Speedway

Kahne Wins Busch Event in Vegas
With the threat of weather hanging over the race, Kasey Kahne battled Matt Kenseth and Kevin Harvick all day for his fourth career NASCAR Busch Series win. Harvick, Kenseth and Kahne traded the lead throughout the afternoon, but it was ultimately Kahne who took the lead on lap 177 and never relinquished it. Kenseth won the Busch Pole earlier in the day and was trying to become only the fourth driver to win the race from the pole. Leading most of the first 100 laps, Kenseth looked to be in control of the race. After a round of green flag pit stops, Kahne became the leader after stopping earlier than Harvick and Kenseth. The final 100 laps saw the potential of another green flag pit stop, but a caution came out with 51 laps to go. Harvick was the leader after this round of pit stops but just 18 laps later is when Kahne took the final lead change of the day. With a late race caution, only three of the 16 drivers on the lead lap decided to gamble and take fresh tires. Jason Leffler, Tony Stewart and Ashton Lewis Jr. restarted the final three laps in 14th, 15th and 16th, respectively. They finished 11th, 12th and 13th. Kahne’s win was the first for Dodge at Las Vegas. Kenseth finished second, followed by Harvick, Greg Biffle and Carl Edwards. Only one driver, Jason Keller, has competed in every Las Vegas race.
