Matt Kenseth, the former Nascar champ who didn't have a single win in 2008, won his first Daytona 500 in 2009.

The rain-shortened race was called with 48 laps left to go. Kenseth slid past Elliott Sadler with 54 laps left and then an Aric Almirola spin brought out the caution flag. Then the rains came.

The 2009 race was the fourth rain-shortened Daytona 500, and the first since 2003.
