| BROOKLYN, Mich. -- After an intense battle with rookies Jimmie Johnson then Ryan Newman, and a last-lap scare from Dale Jarrett, Matt Kenseth survived a three-lap shootout to win the Sirius Satellite Radio 400 at Michigan International Speedway.
With six laps remaining, Elliott Sadler hit the wall to a red flag. On the restart, Kenseth put the No. 17 DeWalt Ford out front, with Johnson in second. Ryan Newman shot low to pass Johnson and put the pressure on Kenseth.
Newman was then passed by Jarrett -- with four fresh tires -- who bolted from ninth on the restart and now set his sights on Kenseth. As the two battled to the checkered flag, Kenseth crossed first to finish 0.131 seconds ahead of Jarrett.
It was Kenseth's third win this season, and fourth of his career.
