Kasey Kahne grins happily in his red NASCAR uniform, a fitting picture as he was just crowned winner of the Coca Cola 600. His success was attributed to the fact that Tony Stewart, who was supposed to be in first place, suffered from a flat tyre three laps before the finishing line, giving Kahne the upper hand to have the chequered flag wave before his eyes. Along with obtaining his first victory this season, Kahne also garnered the title of the sixth NASCAR driver to have won both the All Star Race as well as the Coca Cola 600 on the Lowes Motorspeedway.
