KANSAS CITY, Kan. (AP) -- Joe Nemechek completed a weekend sweep Sunday, holding off a charging Ricky Rudd to win the Banquet 400 at Kansas Speedway.

This one was almost as close as his half car-length victory over Greg Biffle in the Busch Series event Saturday, with Nemechek and Rudd racing side-by-side and bumping once with a lap to go before Nemechek took control again and beat Rudd to the finish by 0.081 seconds -- about 1.5 car-lengths.

"There at the end I was trying to save gas and here comes Ricky Rudd out of nowhere," Nemechek said. "I was like, 'Holy Moley.' I had to get back on it. He got beside me one time, but I wasn't going to let it happen." More
