Kasey Kahne Earns First Bristol Victory in Food City 500

Kasey Kahne earned his first win at Bristol Motor Speedway on Sunday with a victory in the Food City 500. The win is also Khane's first of the season and his 15th career victory in the Sprint Cup Series. Khane had a strong performance the previous week finishing second at Las Vegas Motor Speedway.

"This is a big win. This whole team was flawless, last week, today, this whole season," Kahne told USA Today. "This is a tough place; it's been a tough track for me. We're prepared hard for this race, so I'm really excited."

Pole-sitter Kyle Busch finished second, followed by defending Sprint Cup Champion Brad Keselowski, Kurt Busch, Clint Bowyer, Dale Earnhardt Jr., Ryan Newman, Brian Vickers, Paul Menard and Jamie McMurray.

"I need to stop getting penalties and stay out front all race," said Busch who won Saturday's Nationwide race. "We never really had the car to run the bottom as well as we needed to, and we were never rally able to run the top like we wanted to either. But I guess I'm pretty pleased."
