Kenseth wins Atlanta Nationwide race

Quote selected text Published March 8th, 2008 in NASCAR News

Matt KensethMatt Kenseth broke an 18-race winless string Saturday by capturing a Nationwide Series event. Kenseth grabbed the lead from Jeff Burton on the way to victory.

Kyle Busch led 153 of the first 170 laps before blowing a tire and hitting the wall. That left the battle to Kenseth, Burton and Kevin Harvick. It took a two-lap overtime shootout for Kenseth to earn his first Nationwide win since last April in Texas.

    Free Curly Fries on Monday, but don’t forget you have to take in a print out of the finishing order.

    yay for fries and for having what i think is probably the most non-cup drivers in the top 10 of any race in the past few seasons

    I played a prank on my dad.. he thought the race was at 9pm, didn’t know it was on earlier in the day..I got home from work, and he called me telling me ‘hey the race is on, turn it on’, so I did..and then I looked on here and saw the results were already posted; so I thought, ‘I could get something out of this,’ so I said ‘I’ll make you a bet..$50 says Kenseth wins it.’ He says ‘okay, you’re on!’ Well.. last lap came..Kenseth won.. I won too :) HAHA. I told him about an hour later that the race was being replayed on ESPN2.. lol
