2nd Place before a win...record? many longer then Kahne: but with #9-Kasey Kahne getting his 6th 2nd place finish and not yet winning a Cup Series race, been asked if another driver had finished with more 2nd place finishes before winning their first race.
After a little research and race coverage, five drivers have had more 2nd's before a win:
James Hylton had 12, won in his 187th race, at Richmond in 1970
Harry Gant had 10, won in his 107th race, at Martinsville in 1982
Sterling Marlin had 9, won in his 248th race, at Daytona in 1994
ironically, Bill Elliott had 8, won in his 116th race, at Riverside [CA] in 1983.
Lennie Pond, had 7, won in his 130th race, at Talladega in 1978.
Kahne had six 2nd place finishes, when he won in his 47th race, at Richmond on 5/14/2005.

1-2 finishes: which drivers have finished 1-2 the most times?
Richard Petty and David Pearson finished first and second 63 times with Pearson winning 33 and Petty winning 30

1-2 finish stats: A couple interesting stats from Sunday's race, provided by ESPN's Marty Smith:
1) Sunday's 1-2 start/finish by #39-Newman/#14-Stewart is the first teammate 1-2 start and finish since the 1989 Daytona 500 (Darrell Waltrip and Ken Schrader for Hendrick Motorsports, Waltrip started 2nd and finished 1st, Schrader started 1st and finished 2nd).
2) The last time a team started/finished 1-2 with the same drivers in the same order was back on April 7, 1957 at North Wilkesboro with DePaolo Engineering. Fireball Roberts won from the pole, while teammate Paul Goldsmith started second and finished second.
AND Newman and Stewart qualified and finished 1-2, the first time that’s the first time in a Cup race that drivers have qualified and finished 1-2 since Denny Hamlin and Kurt Busch did qualified and finished 1-2 at Pocono in June 2006.(7-18-2011)

Notes on first time winners: After not having a single first-time winner in 2010, there were five in 2011, with #21-Trevor Bayne, #78-Regan Smith, #6-David Ragan, #27-Paul Menard and #9-Marcos Ambrose. Ragan took 163 Cup starts to reach Victory Lane and Menard took 167 race. That's the most for a driver before his first win since Johnny Benson won in his 226th in 2002 at Rockingham. Ragan became the seventh driver to get his first Cup win in the July race at Daytona and the first since his teammate Greg Biffle did so in 2003. Among the previous six, two never won again, and two won only one more race at the Cup level. The others were Biffle, with 16 career wins, and A.J. Foyt, with seven career wins. Menard became the first dirver ever to win his first Cup race at Indianapolis in the 18th race held there.(more stats at ESPN)(8-15-2011)

First time winner who won back to back: It was brought up during TNT's broadcast of the Citizens Bank 400 at Michigan [not the Michigan 400 as TNT called it]. it was mentioned that no driver has ever won his second race immediately after winning his first in NASCAR's top series. That's not true. Billy Wade won at Old Bridge Stadium in New Jersey on July 10, 1964, for his first career win. Two days later, he won again on a road course at Bridgehampton, N.Y. But Wade didn't stop there. He also won July 15 at Islip (N.Y.) Speedway and July 19 at Watkins Glen. So he won his first FOUR races in back-to-back-to-back-to-back events. All of those wins came in cars owned by Bud Moore.(David Poole/Charlotte Observer), so Wade is the last driver to do back-to-back after winning his first, the first driver to do so was Dick Linder in 1950 with back-to-back wins at Dayton and Hamburg.(Racing-reference.info)(6-18-2007)

Triple Double in Cup-Nationwide-Trucks: While there were 3 weeks between Craftsman Truck Series races, this marks the first-time ever that all 3 national NASCAR series (Cup, Nationwide, & Truck) had back-to-back winners at the same time. Jimmie Johnson has won back-to-back Cup races (Atlanta & Las Vegas), Jeff Burton has won back-to-back Nationwide races (Atlanta & Las Vegas) and Mike Skinner has won back-to-back Craftsman Truck races (Atlanta & California).(3-19-2007)

none.(5-5-2013)

Quickest wins by a driver: With Trevor Bayne's win at Daytona 500 on Feb. 20, 2011, in his 2nd career start, tying a modern era record for fastest to win with Jamie McMurray who won in his second start at Lowe's Motor Speedway in Oct 2002, and John Rostek won in his 2nd career start in April 1960 at Arizona State Fairgrounds. Kevin Harvick won in his third start, when he won at Atlanta in March 2001 as did Dan Gurney in 1963.
Three drivers won in their first start: Johnny Rutherford won a Daytona Qualifying race in his first start back in 1963, back then the Qualifier races counted as wins and the championship and points. Jack White won in his first start in 1949 (5th race of season and in 1951 Marvin Burke won his one and only start at Oakland; and of course Jim Roper won in his first start, the first race ever held by NASCAR in 1949. In April 2009, #09-Brad Keselowski won the Aaron's 499 at Talladega Superspeedway, it was in his 5th career start.(2-20-2011)

First foreign born driver to win since 1974: #42-Juan Pablo Montoya of Colombia, is the first driver born outside the United States to win a race in NASCAR’s Sprint Cup series since Canadian Earl Ross triumphed at Martinsville in 1974. The other foreign born driver to win a Cup race is Mario Andretti, born in Italy, won the 1967 Daytona 500.(6-25-2007)
Montoya is first foreign driver to win two Sprint Cup races, winning a 2nd at Watkins Glen in 2010.(8-8-2010)

Ambrose 4th foreign born driver to win: After three Nationwide Series wins, a blunder last year at Sonoma and three top-3 finishes at Watkins Glen, #9-Marcos Ambrose finally got himself in Victory Lane in the Cup series by winning at Watkins Glen [in 2011 and again in 2012]. In doing so, he became the first Australian-born driver to win a Cup race, and just the fourth foreign-born driver to win in NASCAR's top series. See the ol' accompanying list.
Driver, Country, Wins
Juan Pablo Montoya, Colombia, 2 (Sonoma, Watkins Glen)
Marcos Ambrose, Australia, 2 (Watkins Glen - twice)
Mario Andretti, Italy, 1 (Daytona 500)
Earl Ross, Canada, 1 (Martinsville)
Ambrose now has four wins across the three NASCAR national touring series -- in Cup, Nationwide and Trucks. That's the second most in NASCAR history among foreign-born drivers is Canada's Ron Fellows has six wins (none in Sprint Cup)(ESPN)(8-12-2012)

19th Different Winner in 2001 a record UPDATE 6 add Robby Gordon: when #22-Ward Burton won the 2001 Southern 500, he became the 15th different Winston Cup winner in 2001, which breaks the record for NASCAR's modern era (which began in 1972) of 14 set in 2000 and 1991. Winners in 2001: #15-Waltrip, #1-Park, #24-Gordon, #29-Harvick, #88-Jarrett, #21-Sadler, #55-Hamilton, #2-Wallace, #20-Stewart, #99-Burton, #28-Rudd, #18-Labonte, #40-Marlin, #22-Burton, #8-Earnhardt Jr.(9-2-2001)
UPDATE - Make it 16 in 2001: #32-Ricky Craven becomes the 16th different winner in the Cup series in 2001, extending the record(10-15-2001)
UPDATE 2 - Make it 17 in 2001: #33-Joe Nemechek becomes the 17th different winner in the Cup series in 2001, extending the record(11-4-2001)
UPDATE 3 - ties an all time record from 1956: there was one other year in which 17 drivers won races. Of course, they weren't called Winston Cup races. For most of NASCAR's history, the top division was called Grand National. In the early years, it was called Strictly Stock. Seventeen different drivers won races in 1956, 45 years ago. They were, in order of points standings and with number of wins in parentheses: Buck Baker (14), Speedy Thompson (8), Herb Thomas (5), Lee Petty (2), Jim Paschal (1), Billy Myers (2), Fireball Roberts (5), Ralph Moody (4), Tim Flock (4), Marvin Panch (1), Paul Goldsmith (1), Curtis Turner (1), Jack Smith (1), Lloyd Dane (2), Eddie Pagan (1), John Kieper (1) and Fonty Flock (1).(GoCarolinas/Monte Dutton)(11-8-2001)
UPDATE 4: was informed that there are two more drivers who won in the 1956 season (which started in 1955) not listed above, Chuck Stevenson (Lancaster 11/55) and Royce Haggerty (8/56 at Portland OR), so that would be 19 drivers, which could be tied since there is two races to go. Also there were 19 different winners in 1958 and 1961(Stock Car Racing Encyclopedia)(11-10-2001)
UPDATE 5: Make it 18 in 2001: #9-Bill Elliott becomes the 18th different winner in the Cup series in 2001, extending the (modern era) record(11-11-2001)
UPDATE 6: Make it 19 in 2001: #31-Robby Gordon becomes the 19th different winner in the Cup series in 2001 after winning the season ender at NHIS, extending the (modern era) record and tying the all-time record set im 1956, 1958 and 1961.(11-23-2001)
The Nineteen 2001 Winners: Michael Waltrip, Steve Park, Jeff Gordon, Kevin Harvick, Dale Jarrett, Elliott Sadler, Bobby Hamilton, Rusty Wallace, Tony Stewart, Jeff Burton, Ricky Rudd, Bobby Labonte, Sterling Marlin, Ward Burton, Dale Earnhardt Jr., Ricky Craven, Joe Nemechek, Bill Elliott and Robby Gordon.

Wins in Multiple Series: #42-Juan Pablo Montoya became the third driver to earn victories in F1, NASCAR and Indy cars, joining Mario Andretti and Dan Gurney.(ESPN.com)(6-25-2007)

North Carolina drivers shut out of a win for the first time ever in 2007 and then again in 2010 & 2011: Since none of the five North Carolina born drivers, #8-Dale Earnhardt Jr., #44-Dale Jarrett, #83-Brian Vickers, #45-Kyle Petty or Scott Riggs [no current ride] won the final race in 2007 at Homestead, FL, it was the first year since the NASCAR Cup Series started that a driver born in North Carolinia did not win at least one race in a season. Lee Petty won at least one race every year from 1949 thru 1961, then Richard Petty did it from 1961 thru 1977, Benny Parsons won in 1978, Dale Earnhardt in 1979-1980, Richard won in 1981, the Dale Earnhardt won at least a race a year from 1982 thru 1996, Dale Jarrett 1993 thru 2003 and Dale Earnhardt Jr. 2000-2006. Of course many other North Carolina born drivers won in those years.(11-19-2007)
UPDATE 2: With #88-Dale Earnhardt's win at Michigan, it is the first time a driver born in North Carolina has won a Cup race since Brian Vickers won at Talladega in Oct 2006. The 2007 season was the first time in the history of the sport that no North Carolina drivers won at least one race in a season.(6-15-2008)
UPDATE 3: with Brian Vickers winning at Michigan in August 2009, 2007 is the only season a North Carolina born driiver has not won at least one race.(8-16-2009)
2nd TIME EVER no driver born in North Carolina, won a Sprint Cup Series race in 2010, the 2nd time in NASCAR history, the first time was in 2007.(11-21-2010)
3rd TIME EVER no driver born in North Carolina, won a Sprint Cup Series race in 2011, the 3rd time in NASCAR history, the other seasons were 2010 and 2007.
in 2012, #88-Dale Earnhardt Jr. became the first driver from North Carolina to win a Sprint Cup race since the 2009 season when Brian Vicers won. Since NASCAR started in 1949, on three seasons has a driver not born in North Carolina NOT won a Sprint Cup Series race: 2007, 2010 and 2011.(6-17-2012)

Winning both the Sprint Cup and Nationwide race in the same year at Daytona in February
1988: Bobby Allison
1989: Darrell Waltrip
2004: Dale Earnhardt Jr.
2007: Kevin Harvick
Earnhardt Jr. and Allison are the only drivers ever to win a Twin 125 / Gatorade Duek 150, Busch / Nationwide and Sprint Cup race in the same Speedweeks.

Whoops, Allison back to 84 wins: Darrell Waltrip is again tied for third all-time in career wins after NASCAR disallowed Bobby Allison's claim to an additional win. Darrell Waltrip's place in the NASCAR record book has shifted again. The record for all-time victories will be revised to put the Franklin resident back in a third-place tie with Bobby Allison at 84 wins apiece, NASCAR Vice President Jim Hunter said. Hunter said a ''computer glitch'' resulted in a change to the records last year that awarded Allison one more win than Waltrip. ''As long as they don't take any wins away from me, I don't care,'' Waltrip said yesterday at the NASCAR Nextel Media Tour. Both remain behind Richard Petty (200 wins) and David Pearson (105). Allison for decades has claimed that he owned a 1971 victory at North Wilkesboro, N.C., for which he was never credited. NASCAR had ruled that win didn't qualify as a victory in what was then the Grand National Series [now Nextel Cup]. Said racing historian Bob Moore: ''Bobby was driving a Mustang in what was then the Grand American Series. NASCAR needed to fill out the field at North Wilkesboro that day and invited him to enter the car in its Grand National race. After Bobby won the race he was told it didn't count as a Grand National win.'' Allison appeared to have won the argument. Last year NASCAR's media update book listed Allison with 85 wins and Waltrip with 84. ''There had been some discussion with NASCAR about changing the record,'' Moore said. ''Apparently the editor of the update book thought a decision had been made to give Bobby the win and printed the revised record.''(Tennessean)(1-26-2005)

Allison wins up a notch UPDATE sort of: hadn't heard this..so.....When Darrell Waltrip quit Cup racing four years ago, he was tied with fellow retiree Bobby Allison at third in all-time wins. According to the NASCAR record book, both had 84 victories (behind Richard Petty's 200 and David Pearson's 105). At the start of the 2004 season, however, those records were altered. Allison was awarded an 85th win, leaving him alone in third and dropping Waltrip to fourth. Allison had long argued that decades ago he won a race for which he was never credited. There was a dispute over whether the race Allison won was, at the time, part of NASCAR's official premier series [he won in a Mustang]. Last year NASCAR finally decided in Allison's favor. Waltrip still holds the distinction as the winningest driver in NASCAR's modern era (1972-present), during which time all of his 84 victories came. Second is Dale Earnhardt (76) followed by Jeff Gordon and Cale Yarborough (69 each), Petty (60) and Allison (55). Waltrip is preparing for his fifth season as a Fox Sports racing commentator. He begins his duties during next month's Daytona SpeedWeeks.(Tennessean)(1-5-2005)
UPDATE: from a DW Q&A column at FoxSports.com: Linda from Manassas, Va.: I just read where NASCAR, after reviewing the situation, has given Bobby Allison a win he had in a Mustang. Wonder if NASCAR will ever "review the situation" and give you the win at North Wilkesboro that they gave to Brett Bodine?! [no idea what that one is about??]
DW's Answer: "I heard through the grapevine — through Jayski actually — that NASCAR had revised the results after 30 years and given Bobby Allison credit for some race that he won in a Mustang. No one has called me and told me anything about it, not that they necessarily would. A Mustang has never been a Cup car so I don't know if that change is official or not. If it is, it would be one of those things that make you go "Hmmm."(FoxSports), been told by sources that Bobby Allison also had not heard about the win being added.(1-12-2005)
