Kahne takes Busch race in Vegas
Kasey Kahne claimed his fourth NASCAR Busch Series victory today, winning the Sam's Town 300 race at Las Vegas Motor Speedway
Kahne held off pole-sitter Matt Kenseth in a final shootout for the green-white-checker flag at the 1.5-mile oval, where all the top ten finishers were Nextel Cup drivers.
Kevin Harvick finished third, followed by Greg Biffle, the pole-sitter for tomorrow's Nextel Cup race, Carl Edwards, Denny Hamlin and Jamie McMurray.
The latter was involved in a scary-looking crash, when he hit John Andretti on lap 154 of 200, with Andretti in turn hitting the wall and bouncing back and into Tim Sauter. Andretti and Sauter retired from the race but were uninjured.
Champ Car star Paul Tracy continued to struggle in his NASCAR Busch rookie year, finishing his third race in 36th position - six laps behind Kahne.
