NOTES: Matt Kenseth led only nine laps, but it was the final nine, as he posted his 23rd career Nationwide Series title, clipping Denny Hamlin by less than a second. Kyle Busch dominated the race, leading three times for 113 laps, but faded and finished 7th. Pole sitter David Ragan led the opening two laps and placed fifth. Kenseth will not be on hand to defend his title. Kurt Busch, starting for the first time in the Nationwide Series in 2006, clipped Greg Biffle by less than a second to become just the fifth driver to accomplish that feat. The other four were: Dale Earnhardt (1982), Joe Ruttman (1982), Ricky Rudd (1983) and Terry Labonte (1985). Pole sitter Denny Hamlin led the first 20 laps and traded positions with Kevin Harvick and Matt Kenseth through lap 93 when Jeff Burton took over. Burton led for the next 43 laps, however Busch claimed the lead on lap 137 and held on for a 0.266 of a second victory. In 2005, Kasey Kahne posted his second career Nationwide Series win, as he edged Greg Biffle by less than half a second. Kahne started from the 25th position, the worst starting spot by a winner of this race. Pole sitter Shane Hmiel finished 10th after leading just 20 laps. Kahne, who led the final seven laps, led for a total of 47 laps, while Biffle led for 32. Kahne first made his way to the front of the pack on Lap 53 and remained there for 40 laps. He led again on Lap 194 for the remaining six laps. The lead changed hands a record 17 times among 10 drivers with Kahne picking up the 10-point bonus for most laps led. With his win last season, Kenseth joined Mark Martin as the only multiple winners of this race. Martin is a three-time champion, having captured the race back in 1997, 1999 and 2000. The pole sitter has yet to win this race, however the second position has yielded a pair of wins. The best result for a pole winner is second (twice). Kevin Harvick captured this race in 2001 and has fared very well at Texas Motor Speedway. In eight previous starts, Harvick has four wins and seven top-10 finishes, not to mention completing all 1,522 laps. With a win this week, Harvick will become the first driver to win five races at TMS. The NASCAR Nationwide championship moves to the Phoenix International Raceway on April 11th for the Bashas' Supermarkets 200, as Clint Bowyer defends his title. 04/01 12:29:36 ET
