Quaker Steak and Lube Summer Shootout: Race 9
Date: 8/5/08
Hot temperatures, and hot tempers flare at the Summer Shootout for race nine. After a spectacular battle for the lead in his heat race, Kenny nosed out John Jones for the win, which qualified
Kenny in third for his feature. A dramatic start to the race kept the fans on their feet as Kenny raced 3 wide with points leader Chris Morgan, and John Jones for the first 3 laps of the race. Falling into line, Kenny is almost spun by the #34 car, but saves it and keeps racing. At lap 15 a caution tightens up the field and Kenny chooses his way up to 2nd place. Falling into line, he will finish the race in 3rd place, Kenny's second top 3 finish of 2008 and seventh straight top 5.
A special thanks goes out to Darren Jones, owner of Sign It Up, for supplying the Twister Bando with some awesome new number decals.
