KANSAS CITY, Kan. – Matt Kenseth benefited from the timing of the final caution flag to take the lead in Sunday's STP 400 and held off Kasey Kahne over the final laps to get his second win of the season.

It's the third straight Sprint Cup Series race in which the winner has won from the pole and the fourth win for Joe Gibbs Racing in eight races in 2013. Though outside of Kenseth, it wasn't a rosy day for the rest of the team.

Kenseth was up front the entire day, but was running fifth as the pit window for the race's final pit stop ended. As the pit stop cycle started and the four cars ahead of him pitted, Kenseth stayed out and inherited the lead.

In the midst of all of that, Brad Keselowski's rear bumper cover was flapping in the breeze thanks to damage he had sustained earlier. Three laps after Kenseth took the lead and before he had a chance to pit, it flew off and landed on the track. The cars that were in front of Kenseth were suddenly going to restart behind him when the green

No fans sustained serious injuries when the body of Robert Hight's Funny Car flew into the grandstands at zMax Dragway at Charlotte Motor Speedway on Saturday.

Hight was making a run during qualifying when the explosion from his engine catapulted the carbon fiber body of his Funny Car in the air. The car body twisted and turned in the wind before bouncing off a grandstand fence and then coming to rest perched atop another fence in front.

Two fans sustained minor scrapes.

Nitro dragster engine explosions can be quite powerful, so it's not uncommon to see the force of them propel the car bodies skyward in funny car. Matt Hagan's car body was obliterated when his engine exploded last year at Charlotte.

This isn't the first major auto race where car parts have made it into the grandstands. At least 28 fans were injured at Daytona International Speedway when Kyle Larson's car was launched into the catchfence in a final lap crash during the season-opening Nationwide Series race in February.

After winning the pole at Kansas Speedway on Friday, Matt Kenseth got that car. How is Matt going to drive that? Is he going to race it on Sunday?

Kenseth, the next-to-last car to qualify, went out two cars after Edwards and his lap of 191.864 MPH is a track record on the newly repaved and reconfigured surface. The previous record was set before last year's fall race in the first race on Kansas' steeper progressively banked track. This year, the combination of cool temperatures and a new car helped Kenseth break that record.

Ricky Stenhouse, the man who replaced Kenseth in the No. 17 when Kenseth moved to Joe Gibbs Racing before 2013, qualified third and Sam Hornish will start fourth in his first Cup start of the season.

Jeff Gordon crashed on his qualifying lap and will take the green shotgun on the field in a backup car. The back end of Gordon's car came around on him in turn two as he was in the throttle and the impact pancaked the rear of his car.

KANSAS CITY, Kan. – Jimmie Johnson said that the Penske Racing penalties for rear end housing violations did not stem from Hendrick Motorsports telling NASCAR that Penske was doing something wrong.

"No, the Hendrick group and the 48 team did not rat out the Penske cars," Johnson said. "There are two decisions teams are faced with in the garage area. Everybody has teams they're watching and we've been very impressed with the 2 car's staff and their ability to have someone just standing and watch other teams. So this environment does take place in the garage area."

"So yeah, there are blinds open. But when a team sees them they have two options. One, they go home and try to adapt to their car and understand it and see if they can learn from it when they go on the track and say something. We don't say something. We're a company well-honed on performance. We're a company that tries to understand the rulebook as close as we can to the law, and truly, we've had our issues with it, but

Sean Collier (AP)Sean Collier, the officer at MIT who according to authorities was killed by the two suspects in the Boston Marathon bombings, was the brother of Andrew Collier, a machinist in the engine department at Hendrick Motorsports.

"The thoughts and prayers of everyone at Hendrick Motorsports are with Andrew Collier and his family," the team said in a statement. "Andrew, a machinist in the Hendrick Motorsports engine department, tragically lost his brother, Officer Sean Collier, last night in Cambridge, Mass. We ask that the family’s privacy be considered during this difficult time."

"A very sad time, my thoughts and prayers are with the family, and I certainly know it's the same throughout Hendrick Motorsports," Jimmie Johnson said. "We're one big family and it's sad and unfortunate to see a fellow teammate and his family have such a tough time."

Collier, 26, responded to a disturbance on the MIT campus on Thursday evening. He was found shot in his vehicle when other officers responded to the

This is a pretty cool gesture from the Michael Waltrip Racing teams to honor the victims of the Boston Marathon explosions at Kansas. The numbers on the side of the cars of Clint Bowyer, Martin Truex Jr. and Mark Martin will be emblazoned on a replica Boston Marathon Racing bib.

Team owner Waltrip ran the event in 2000.

“The news coming out of Boston this week was very personal to me,” Waltrip said in a statement. “When I ran the Boston Marathon in 2000, I remember thinking about what a privilege it was to be able to participate and all the hard work it took to be there. When you can see those international flags flying in Copley Square, you know you are about to complete your journey. I know the joy those runners were feeling at that moment when their worlds changed."

In addition, Roush Fenway Racing, of which 50 percent is owned by the Fenway Sports Group, will run a decal with the Boston Red Sox logo and the word "strong" below it on each of its cars.
