Denny Hamlin won STP 400 at Kansas Speedway on Sunday, securing his second victory of the 2012 NASCAR Sprint Cup.

Jimmie Johnson came in third with 3.324 seconds behind Hamlin and has to wait for another chance to deliver the 200th win for Hendrick. Matt Kenseth, driving a Roush Fenway Ford, came in 4th with 8.017 seconds behind Hamlin.

Greg Biffle came in fifth on Sunday’s race, but still remains first in point. Truex has now moved up to second, 15 points behind Biffle.

Kevin Harvick, Dale Earnhardt Jr., Kasey Kahne, Carl Edwards, and Kyle Busch followed Biffle in No. 6 – 10.
