Clint Bowyer won a stirring duel with Matt Kenseth on Friday night, taking the lead with 14 laps to go and holding on in the Busch Series race at Phoenix International Raceway.

Kenseth, who won the Busch race last weekend in Texas, appeared on the way to another victory when he made a strong pass on the outside to take away the lead from Bowyer 31 laps from the end of the 200-lap Bashas’ Supermarkets 200.

The former Nextel Cup champion started to pull away, but Bowyer didn’t give up. He moved his Chevrolet back to the rear bumper of Kenseth’s Ford by lap 180 and pulled off the same outside pass as Kenseth to regain the lead for good on lap 187.
