FONTANA, Calif. (AP) - Nobody is burning up the track in 2009 like Matt Kenseth.
After going winless last year, Kenseth is perfect so far in the young NASCAR Sprint Cup season. Kenseth is the fifth driver in NASCAR history to follow a victory in the Daytona 500 with a victory the following week. He's the first driver to open the NASCAR season with two victories since Jeff Gordon did it in 1997.
Kenseth took the lead with 38 laps to go and easily won the Auto Club 500 in Southern California. Gordon ran second followed by Kyle Busch, Greg Biffle and Kurt Busch. This is Kenseth's third victory on the 2-mile Auto Club Speedway oval and the fifth straight February victory for team co-owner Jack Roush.
Kyle Busch's third-place finish ended a terrific weekend. He made NASCAR history by winning both the truck and Nationwide series races on Saturday.
