spur-of-the-moment twist on the pit road has led to a surprising win for the second race of the year. Matt Kenseth drove in late to the FedEx 400 at Dover International Speedway on Sunday, but a two-tire call propelled him to the front row at Lap 367 of 400. That turned out to be all that was necessary to result in his winning his second victory for the NASCAR Sprint Cup series, the first being at Texas. This was also his 20th win in his career, and he is the third driver to have a second victory this season. Mark Martin had held onto a safe lead, but Kenseth easily dispatched him. Apparently, taking four tires with caution on Lap 363 meant little headway. Kenseth wound up leading the last 32 laps. Second place went to Martin, and Marcos Ambrose followed in third place. Kyle Busch came next, followed by Biran Vickers to round out the top five. Kenseth has strengthened his chances to make the field as a result of his second victory, playing under the revamped NASCAR rules for a qualification for the Chase for the championship, the emphasis being on wins. “My mind is to try to lead those points going into the Chase,” Kenseth said, explaining that he did not want to slide off the wins. He added that he wanted to go up and race the way he just did every single week. spur-of-the-moment twist on the pit road has led to a surprising win for the second race of the year.
