At many tracks, experience wins.
Not necessarily so at Kansas Speedway, where drivers in their 20s, 30s and 40s have grabbed the checkered flag in the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series six trips to the 1.5-mile speedway.
One of the series biggest surprises occurred in 2001 s inaugural race when the late Ricky Hendrick became the then-youngest winner at age 21 years three months.
Hendrick s victory might have been considered an aberration except that two years later Jon Wood, 21 years nine months, captured the O Reilly Auto Parts 250.
Now-NASCAR Nextel Cup Series star Carl Edwards was the third 20-something to visit Kansas Victory Lane. Edwards was less than two months shy of his 25th birthday in 2004.
