INDIANAPOLIS (AP) – Kasey Kahne survived a crash-marred Brickyard 400 on Sunday for his first NASCAR Cup victory in nearly three years.

The Hendrick Motorsports driver won under caution in the race that took more than six hours to complete, finally finishing in fading light after 167 laps and double overtime.

Brad Keselowski was second.

Afterward, Kahne went to Indianapolis Motor Speedway’s infield medical center. Series officials didn’t say what he was being treated for but other drivers said the temperatures inside the cars topped 130 degrees.

It was a wild day at Indianapolis Motor Speedway with Kyle Busch and Martin Truex Jr. – driving the two fastest cars – going out in a crash with 49 laps to go.
