CONCORD, N.C. — Kasey Kahne powered to victory in the Coca-Cola 600 on Sunday night, winning NASCAR's longest race for the third time for his first win with Hendrick Motorsports.LAS VEGAS – The afternoon heat and high speeds at Las Vegas Motor Speedway had trucks slipping and sliding all over – into the wall, into each other, eventually into the pits.
For a veteran driver like Ron Hornaday Jr., this was a perfect setup to turn back all those flat-out-all-the-time youngsters he’s been chasing all season.
Using his veteran savvy and pit strategy to outlast less-experienced drivers, Hornaday waded through a crash-filled Truck Series race at Las Vegas Motor Speedway on Saturday for his second straight victory and record-extending 51st overall.
“There’s some teams out there with more horsepower, but they’re not going to outguess us or outthink us in the pit strategy,” Hornaday said.
The 146-lap race featured 10 cautions, including a four-car pileup on Lap 31 that brought out the red flag.
