Matt Kenseth won his record eighth Slinger Nationals on Tuesday night, passing Ty Majeski on the final lap. It was the only lap Kenseth led.
The victory came in Kenseth’s first race since last year’s Cup finale in Miami.
Kenseth and Majeski dueled in the final laps. Majeski brushed the wall on the backstretch on the last lap. Kenseth was underneath Majeski on the final corner and drifted up to pass Majeski for the win.
“Exactly what I’d have done,” Majeski told the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel.
Kenseth told the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel: “It’s short-track racing.
Daniel Hemric finished ninth. Johnny Sauter placed 23rd.

"It feels good. I'm going to call it a season. One-for-one ... I just miss the competition. These guys are really good."
What a race and what a show last night! Had a blast racing with @mattkenseth. Had a dominant car, just way too tight after those last 2 cautions and he got us at the end. Hope everyone enjoyed the race. That’s what you call short track racing!!! pic.twitter.com/9QIhl2Q5qM
