Kahne takes Bud back to the Victory Lane

Kasey Kahne was strong all night, but it looked as if he was going to finish second behind Tony Stewart, but then Stewart had a tire go down, which relegated Tony to an eighteenth place finish instead of first.

Kahne joins five other drivers that have won both the All-Star Race and the Coca Cola 600 in the same season and Kahne was the first voted in driver to win the All-Star.  While the win was great and I'm sure they are happy about it, it also put Kahne up to twelfth in points and in The Chase for now.

I think one of the most disappointing thing that happened was when Vickers tire came off, taking him out of the race.  He had been complaining all race long about a possible loose wheel, they admitted the wheels had started working their way loose, but never came off until the wreck.  Something was amiss over there, either they didn't get the lugs as tight as they thought or there was something wrong with the threads, either way, it took a very good chance at a win away from Vickers.  Luckily, he wasn't hurt in the wreck and no one hurt by the tire when it hit the camper just inside the infield fence.
