Nascar – Keselowski finds the key at Daytona

Four victories on the other super-speedway of Talladega in Alabama, but none on the legendary Florida track of Daytona. The paradox Brad keselowski ended yesterday with the victory of the 2012 Sprint Cup Series champion at the Coke Zero 400.

The driver of the No. 2 Ford Fusion of Team Penske largely dominated the event leading 115 of 161, et s’est montré le plus fort lors de la période de prolongation consécutive à un crash au 155e tour, en conservant les commandes face à Kyle Busch (Joe Gibbs Racing – Toyota). Trevor Bayne (Roush Fenway Racing – Ford) termine 3e devant Joey Logano (Team Penske – Ford).

The event was marked by several crashes including that of lap 90 involving Jimmie Johnson (Hendrick Motorsports – Chevrolet), Jamie McMurray (Chip Ganassi Racing – Chevrolet), Danica Patrick (Stewart-Haas Racing – Chevrolet) or Kevin Harvick (Stewart-Haas Racing – Chevrolet). Tony Stewart (Stewart-Haas Racing – Chevrolet), winner at Sonoma in California, also made a mistake on lap 148.

In a position to compete for the first places, Kurt Busch (Stewart-Haas Racing – Chevrolet) lost all chance in the final meters after contact with Joey Logano.
