Kenseth dominates Busch Series race
« Thread Started on Nov 19, 2006, 7:33am »

By The Associated Press

HOMESTEAD, Fla. — Matt Kenseth passed teammate Carl Edwards for the lead with 11 laps to go Saturday night and pulled away for his second consecutive Busch Series victory.

Kenseth won last week in Phoenix but had to hold off Kevin Harvick in a three-lap sprint to the finish to claim the win. This time Kenseth led 90 laps, lost the lead on a poor pit stop and had to chase down Edwards to reclaim it.

Once out front there was no catching him, and the victory was wrapped up when Jay Sauter spun on the final lap to bring out the caution and freeze the field. It was the third Busch win of the season for Kenseth and 21st of his career.

Now he'll try to carry it over into today's Nextel Cup finale. He heads into the race trailing points leader Jimmie Johnson by 63 points.

"Oh, man, I learned some stuff. Jimmie's in big trouble," the pessimistic Kenseth deadpanned.

Edwards finished second and couldn't focus on running down Kenseth because Edwards had to contend with Paul Menard in his rearview mirror.

Menard was third and was followed by Denny Hamlin, J.J. Yeley and Harvick, who finally got to celebrate the Busch Series title he won five weeks ago.

Harvick will try to make it two titles this season — he heads into the Cup finale mathematically eligible to win that championship, too. But he's 90 points behind Johnson.

Enumclaw's Kasey Kahne was eighth, and Greg Biffle from Vancouver, Wash., was 38th.
