\"\"<\/a>KANSAS CITY, Kan. — Matt Kenseth<\/a> benefited from the timing of the final caution flag to take the lead in Sunday’s STP 400 and held off Kasey Kahne<\/a> over the final laps to get his second win of the season.<\/p>\n

It’s the third straight Sprint Cup Series race in which the winner has won from the pole and the fourth win for Joe Gibbs Racing in eight races in 2013. Though outside of Kenseth, it wasn’t a rosy day for the rest of the team.<\/p>\n

Kenseth was up front the entire day, but was running fifth as the pit window for the race’s final pit stop ended. As the pit stop cycle started and the four cars ahead of him pitted, Kenseth stayed out and inherited the lead.<\/p>\n
