New Hampshire, 2012

Just seven races after winning his first race as the driver of the #5 Hendrick Motorsports Chevrolet, Kasey Kahne found himself back in Victory Lane at New Hampshire after ending just a six-race win drought. He started the race in 2nd place.

In his second win for Hendrick Motorsports, Kahne was not the dominant driver, which was also the case in his first victory for the team at the Coca-Cola 600 at Charlotte earlier in the 2012 season. The 2nd place finisher, Denny Hamlin, led much of the race, leading 150 of the race’s 301 laps .

Kahne did not lead the race until lap 236 of the race’s 301 laps, but once he took the lead, he never looked back, leading the final 66 laps of the race en route to his 14th career Cup Series victory and second as a Hendrick Motorsports driver.
