#60-Greg Biffle was the first of the race leaders to run out of gas Saturday but, luckily for him, not the last. That distinction went to #17-Matt Kenseth, whose team thought he could make the distance but instead required a fuel stop with four of 150 laps remaining. After Kenseth pitted and then stalled on pit road, Biffle took the lead and held on for a 5.323 second victory over #29-Tony Stewart in Saturday’s Stater Bros. 300 at California Speedway. It was Biffle’s second win of the season and 13th of his career. The win also ended teh driver’s string of three consecutive races with finishes of 21st or worse. #59-Stacy Compton, who last stopped for fuel on Lap 90, made it to the end and finished third. Kenseth was fourth and #38-Kasey Kahne fifth. Series points leader #99-Michael Waltrip finished sixth and leads rookie #5-Kyle Busch by 52 points. The race was slowed four times by caution for 21 laps. There were 16 lead changes among 10 different drivers.(ThatsRacin.com)
