Brad Keselowski took the lead with nine laps remaining and held on to win Sunday's STP 400 NASCAR Sprint Cup Series race at Kansas Speedway.  With Sunday's victory Keselowski broke a 60-race winless streak.

 

 

"We finally caught a break. Awesome call, Paul," Keselowski radioed to crew chief Paul Wolfe as he crossed the finish line.

 

Dale Earnhardt Jr. had another good run this week and settled for a runnerup finish. 

 

"We've had some runs where we've drove ourselves into the positions where we finished," Junior said. "We've finished well by running well and by getting lucky."

 

Rounding out the top five were Denny Hamlin, Jeff Gordon and Carl Edwards. 

 

Matt Kenseth, Jimmie Johnson, Tony Stewart, Kurt Busch and Greg Biffle completed the top-10.

 

Carl Edwards leaves Kansas with a 40 point advantage over Jimmie Johnson as the series heads to Pocono.
