CONCORD, NC- Well, he started in the back row after qualifying first, but he wound up winning last night's truck series race.
Erik Jones finished second, who started in the back row after qualifying second. Jones had to start in the back because he missed the driver's meeting.
Jones led 88 laps in last night's race.
Matt Crafton finished 3rd, followed by Tyler Reddick in 4th, and Brad Keselowski in 5th to round out the Top-5.
John Wes Townley finished 6th, followed by Timothy Peters, Matt Tifft, Justin Boston, and Spencer Gallagher to round out the Top-10.
The first caution came out for Korbin Forrister who took a spin in the tru-oval grass early in the race. He would finish 29th.
With Kahne's win, Chevrolet earned their 200th NASCAR Camping World Truck Series victory with last night's win.
"Jones was really fast," Kahne said. "He was kind of in a league of his own when he could go to clean air. I knew if we could stay back and stay with him (Kahne is referring to the final restart), as long as he didn't get to clean air, it would be alright."
Jones seemed to be in a more unhappy mindset.
"I can't believe that the lap cars can't let us finish the race," he said. "It sucks that it has to come down to a green-white-checkered and the fastest truck loses the race, again. I just can't believe that we lost it. I don't know what to say. It really hurts."
Matt Crafton retained his points lead over Erik Jones. Crafton's 3rd place finish put him 16 points ahead of Jones.
