Kansas

Let the chase continue...Greg Biffle wins at Kansas followed in second by Johnson, who did not have much of a car until it really matter. All of the top seven were chase contenders, which did not include then points leader Denny Hamlin, who finished twelfth. Worst chase finisher was Kyle Busch in 22nd, whose day was ruined by David Reutimann. He retaliated to Busch getting into him and spinning him earlier in the race when Reutimann checked up. Still Busch went on to limp home on the lead lap and not a completely dismal day.

Points standings leaving Kansas:
Johnson
Hamlin -8
Harvick -30
Edwards -53
Gordon -58
Kurt Busch -70
Kyle Busch -80
Biffle -85
Burton -101
Stewart -127
Kenseth -149
Bowyer -252

The race was a good one though. There were few stupid penalties, especially from the chasers and at the end there was a great battle between several cars for that second place position. Plus seeing a full grandstand is always great, and that is why Kansas deserved that second race next year.
