Fontana great run for Kahne

Kasey Kahne was on it for the race. Reed Sorenson missed it and Carl Edwards, and Greg Biffle are now left to contend for 11th place. Dale Jr. came ever so close to claiming his first win at Fontana but a 2 tire pit stop turned his car the wrong way and he had to fight traffic to get back up front. Jeff Gordon made a great come back from a pit stop gaffe with too few lug nuts dropping to 25th and fighting back to finish 5th. The pole sitter Kurt Busch once again had a car that they were not able to get a handle on and finished 1 lap down. Maek Martin recovered nicely from some early on poor handling to move up a spot in the top ten and once again Jeff Burtons car was adjusted out of contention. So no one dropped out of or moved into the top ten, there was some shuffling of positions and Matt Kenseth and Jimmie Johnson traded 1st and 2nd place. Next week at Richmond things will be dicey from fourth place back holds the possibilty of dropping out of the chase with a bad run, talk about tension at a short track boy this one will be as taught as a piano wire for 7 guys.
