Kasey Kahne Wins Nascar Race.

KASEY KAHNE WINS NASCAR RACE IN SPITE OF RAIN

BILL LESTER BECOMES FIRST BLACK DRIVER TO START AND FINISH

Bill Lester became the 1ST black driver to start and finish a race in Nascar's top series since Willy T. Ribbs won 20 years ago. He started nineteenth in his Dodge and finished 38th in the 43-car field.

Bill Lester said he was proud of his accomplishment, but a little embarrassed by all the attention he was getting.

"I'm looking forward to when it's about racing instead of race," he said.

The forty-five-year-old Lester, a regular driver in NASCAR's Craftsman Truck Series since 2002, accomplished one of his main goals, avoiding a crash and being able to race to the end of the 500-mile race, postponed on Sunday because of heavy rain.

The top Cup rookie in 2004, Kahne dropped down the rankings last year. But he has started this season with 4 strong performances, that include an 11th-place run at Daytona and 2 fourth-place finishes before taking out the 2nd win of his career.

Kahne, driving for Evernham Motor sports, is in his 3rd Nextel Cup season. But he made a veteran call on a day when many drivers had handling problems on the track's long, high banks. He proposed a chassis adjustment halfway through the race. Though he lost sight of the leaders with a longer pit stop, Kahne eventually returned to the lead and managed to hold off Mark Martin's charge twelve laps from the finish.
