When everyone had counted him out, including himself, Matt Kenseth showed he still had it in dominating fashion by winning the Nextel Cup Sharpie 500 at Bristol Motor Speedway. In his 1st victory in more than a year, Kenseth ruled the track by leading 415 of the 500 laps run outpacing everyone including the current points leader Tony Stewart.
Staying the front saved Kenseth from having to deal with the nonsense going on behind him. Dale Jarrett started the race in 11th, just out of the Chase. However some incidental contact between him and Ryan Newman caused Jarrett to spinout. Jarrett obviously felt wronged as a couple of laps later he made an intentional left turn into Newman ending both of their nights. Jarrett was penalized 2 laps and refused to comment when leaving the track.
Following Kenseth to the line was Jeff Burton in 2nd, Greg Biffle 3rd, Ricky Rudd 4th, and Rusty Wallace rounding out the top-5.
