Kenseth acquired his second victory of the season, leading 163 of 267 laps at Kansas Motor Speedway.

Kenseth who battled all race long, took the lead on Lap 218 and had to hold off Kasey Kahne on the last lap and only beat him by .151 seconds. 

"It was kind of like musical chairs", said Kenseth. "You had to be out front when the music stopped. Our car was very fast in clean air. It was reasonable in dirty air, but it wasn't quite good enough to catch all them guys and pass' em." (via Nascar.com)
