Kasey Kahne took the checkered flag at Bristol Motor Speedway for the first time Sunday. It was the first short-track race of the Sprint Cup season. It's Kahne's 15th career win in NASCAR's top circuit.
Kyle Busch finished second in the Food City 500. Brad Keselowski was third and takes over the series points lead as the only driver to open the season with four top-five finishes.
Tempers flared after the race when Joey Logano leaned inside the car window of former teammate Denny Hamlin to complain about Hamlin spinning him during the race. At the time, Logano was racing Jeff Gordon for the lead.
