(Fort Worth-AP) -- Matt Kenseth took the lead with a late-race, two-tire stop and drove to an easy victory Monday in the rain-delayed Samsung-Radio Shack 500.
It was the second victory of the season for the former NASCAR Winston Cup rookie of the year.
The leaders made their final pit stops on lap 308, in the last of seven caution periods in the 334-lap event at Texas Motor Speedway.
Kenseth got a fast pit stop and came back out ahead of Jeff Gordon.
Gordon's Chevy was able to hold off Kenseth's Roush Racing teammate Mark Martin's Ford for second, but Kenseth won by 0.888-seconds _ about eight car-lengths.
