He could've scored at least one more win in the 55 if he didn't have that accident while leading, where he spun onto pit road and and hit an opening awkwardly. Lap traffic was the cause of that. Although Kahne was catching him, and also was caught up in that wreck, so he probably wouldn't have won. Happened at Michigan, I think.
