Default NASCAR-CUP: Kansas: Dale Earnhardt Jr race report

From Strange to Stranger, Biffle Wins, Dale Jr. 10th

taking the checkered flag after only 210 laps (of a scheduled distance of
234 laps) despite crossing the finish line behind other lead lap cars
while sputtering with low fuel under yellow flag conditions. The race was
stopped twice for rain - including a lengthy delay of more than two hours
after 148 laps - and then ended as the track fell into darkness. In a
season marred by numerous rain delays and postponements, today is the
first event in recent memory to end due to darkness. Biffle topped
second-place Clint Bowyer while Jimmie Johnson finished the race in third
position. Johnson now leads the points in the Chase after three of ten
races while many of the other 12 drivers in the Championship battle
suffered from crashes or mechanical trouble all afternoon and evening.
Dale Earnhardt Jr. and the No. 8 Budweiser team started near the front,
dropped back mid-race with handling difficulties, but made many
adjustments in the pits to run as high as second place before fading in
the final laps to finish 10th. Dale Jr remains 13th in the point
standings and has now recorded 12 top-10 finishes this season.
