DAYTONA BEACH, FLA. — It couldn’t happen to a nicer guy.

Matt Kenseth wins 2009 Daytona 500Matt Kenseth, winless a year ago, added the biggest jewel in NASCAR to his trophy collection Sunday, winning a dramatic, rain-shortened Daytona 500 before a capacity crowd of some 200,000 at Daytona International Speedway, plus a Fox national television audience.

Daytona 500 Full Results

Kenseth somehow dodged a huge pileup shortly after lap 125 that easily could have sent him to the scrap-pile like it did young sensation Kyle Busch.

Busch, who had led 88 laps to clearly establish himself as the race favorite, was a victim in a 10-car wreck that had cars sliding through the backstretch infield apron and down the end of the backstretch straightaway in a huge cloud of smoke and debris.

The accident was triggered when Brian Vickers moved over to block Dale Earnhardt, Jr. near the end of the backstretch. Earnhardt was forced off the track onto the apron and into the grass. When Earnhardt tried to steer his sliding car back on the track, he clipped the rear end of Vickers’ Toyota, sending Vickers shooting across the track directly in front of the oncoming field of 200-mph stock cars. At that point, it was pure havoc.  No one was injured, but the accident sent a number of cars to the junk heap.

DAYTONA BEACH, FLA. – A nudge here, a bump there.

Here-a-bump, there-a-bump, bumpity-bump everywhere.

That’s how Tony Stewart survived a last-lap duel with Kyle Busch to win Saturday’s NASCAR Nationwide Series Camping World 300 at Daytona International Speedway.

Stewart, who ran at or near the front most of the 200-lap race, came off the last turn sideways after Busch did everything but wreck Stewart and himself through Turns 3 and 4.

While Stewart was blocking and Busch was bumping, Carl Edwards shot through the smoke and sparks to finish second. Clint Bowyer stayed on the throttle while the lead cars slid every which way and wound up third, just ahead of Busch.

Greg Biffle was fifth in a race that has to go down as one of the best Saturday races in Daytona history.

It was nip and tuck most of the way with a slew of different leaders and plenty of hard-racing action.
