Kasey Kahne wins Toyota/Save Mart 350
I am sure if you are a Kasey Kahne fan as I am then you are thrilled with the results of yesterday’s Nascar race. Kasey Kahne won the Toyota/Save Mart 350 at Infineon Raceway in Sonoma California. I was beginning to think all those late cautions was going to mess him up but he hung on to win.
There was so many cautions at the end I lost track but I think it was four. All along I was expecting the second place car who was Tony Stewart to bump Kasey on the restarts and scoot on by him but he didn’t, he raced him clean. I think it probably helped that Kasey and Tony Stewart are good friends because you can bet it it was Kyle Busch leading at the end like that then Busch would have been bumped out of the way.
So it was a good win for Kasey and it leaves him only 3 points out of 12th place which he needs to get to in order to make the chase for the Sprint Cup. It was also car owner Richard Petty’s first victory as a car owner in 11 years. His last was when John Andretti drove for him and won at Martinsville in 1999.
