Kent defied England Test stars Ryan Sidebottom and Stuart Broad to beat Notts by three wickets at Trent Bridge.
Sidebottom gave Notts early impetus by bowling Martin van Jaarsveld for 63 and then removing Geraint Jones for a duck after the home side began on 129-4.
Justin Kemp was caught off Charlie Shreck for 19, leaving Kent on 173-7.
But Ryan McLaren (37) and Yasir Arafat (36) shared an unbroken stand of 71 to steer their side to 244-7 and a first Championship win of the season.
After surviving a post-lunch change of ends by Sidebottom, who took 2-69 to add to his five first innings wickets, McLaren wrapped things up by pulling a ball from Samit Patel for his sixth boundary.
He and fellow all-rounder Arafat were Kent's match-winners for the second successive game, having taken nine wickets between them in a 90-run Friends Provident Trophy win over Surrey on Monday.
