Kenseth Wins Another Rain-Shortened Daytona

Matt Kenseth passed Elliott Sadler with two laps to go before the rains came and ended up winning the 51st Daytona 500 Sunday.

Kenseth was the proud owner of a 36-race winless streak heading in to the the race, and had to start back in the 39th position in the grid. The race was shortened to 152 laps, or 380 miles, because of the rain in the area. NASCAR's head honcho Mike Helton told the Fox network race team that the race itself would not have kicked back in until close to 11:00 eastern time after the track would have been cleared of the rain and dried to meet safe driving conditions.

This daytona was the 4th race shortened in the history of the event- the last being Michael Waltrip's 2003 win.

Kenseth vowed to a columnist, who in 2003 wrote the drive had no personality, that was going to paint the town plaid.
