Jimmie Johnson won the NASCAR Sprint Cup series SpongeBob SquarePants 400 at Kansas Speedway early Sunday morning. It was a marathon day that featured a two hour and sixteen minute rain delay and ended on Mother’s Day. Here’s what went down at Kansas.

Under threatening skies polesitter Joey Logano the field to the green; he took the lead by the end of lap one, Truex Jr. was second, Kahne was third, Kevin Harvick and Kurt Busch fought for fourth.  Jimmie Johnson nearly spun but gathered it up but fell to 28th on lap 6.

Jeb Burton lost a tire just as JJ Yeley also lost a tire; both spun on lap 7 bringing out caution number 1.MORE>>>
