CONCORD, N.C. -- Jimmie Johnson's reign ended in frantic -- but fruitless -- pursuit of Kasey Kahne.

There's finally a new Coca-Cola 600 winner, and somebody other than Johnson celebrated in Victory Lane at Lowe's Motor Speedway for the first time in six races.

Kahne stopped Johnson's streak of total dominance by taking the lead with 29 laps to go, then pulling out to such a huge lead that Johnson never had a chance to catch him.

Johnson, the winner of the past three Coca-Cola 600s and seven of the last 10 races at Lowe's, finished second. He was well over 2 seconds behind Kahne, who stopped his car at the finish line to grab the checkered flag and celebrate with his team.  More
