Kansas City, Kan. ? There was plenty of yellow during the Yellow Transportation 300 at Kansas Speedway on Saturday.

The 10 cautions for the race tied the record for a NASCAR Busch Series race at Kansas – which has happened three other times in just seven races run – and Kyle Busch needed every one of them to come away with his third victory of the season.

“Being able to be good at the restarts helps out if you can get a car or two and being able to pass people as the race goes on,” Busch said. “If that thing would’ve went green the rest of the way to the end of the race, we wouldn’t have been able to get back to the front. Everybody would’ve got strung out a little bit; it would’ve been harder to race those guys.”

Fortunately for him, there weren’t any other yellows once he took the lead because he had pole-sitter Matt Kenseth pressing him the last 17 laps.

“I really blew it on the restart and let him get by me there,” Kenseth said. “He got a really good restart, got a good run around the bottom, and I knew that I couldn’t – as loose as my car was – I knew I couldn’t let anybody outside of me. … So he just did a better job than I did of getting rolling.”

Carl Edwards, a Columbia, Mo., native and teammate of Kenseth’s, was responsible for one of the yellows late in the race. On lap 152, Edwards spun out and hit the wall head-on in Turn 3.

It was an incident on lap 96, however, that Edwards was more upset about. Coming off a restart, Kenseth caught the front of Edwards’ car, causing a flat.

So after his race-ending wreck on lap 152, Edwards watched for Kenseth to come around the track to give him a sarcastic applause.

“It’s just kind of a hard day for us,” Edwards said. “Matt’s a good guy, he probably didn’t mean to do that. It’s a little frustrating because I was trying to pass him. That was the only thing, I think, that happened there.

“As far as wrecking, something broke on the car. We may have lost the front end – I got real sideways, thought I had it corrected and all I could see was safer barriers.”

Kenseth said he doesn’t feel like he did anything wrong.

¢ Big moves by Bowyer: Emporia native Clint Bowyer may not have been able to deliver a win to his faithful fans at his “home track,” but he still came away with a top-five finish.

Recording a qualifying time good enough for a 23rd-place start Saturday morning, Bowyer made enough adjustments to cross the finish line in fourth.

¢ No-go for Jennifer Jo: Hopes of qualifying for the Busch Series race turned out bleak for Jennifer Jo Cobb, a Kansas City, Kan., native. Cobb’s time of 33.134 seconds wasn’t good enough to crack the 43-car field.

“It’s unfortunate that our first opportunity to make a NASCAR Busch Series race this year was arguably during one of the hardest fields to make this season,” Cobb said.
