Team Penske has continued to impress in recent weeks. After a timid start to the season, Brad Keselowski (Ford) shines by signing for the first time in his career his 3rd consecutive victory in Nascar Cup Series after winning the South Point 400 held at Las Vegas Motor Speedway (Nevada).

Le champion 2012 a survécu au chaos qui a régné dans cette épreuve interrompue une douzaine de reprises en raison des multiples accidents qui ont fait des dégâts parmi les prétendants au titre. Sur les 40 participants au départ, seuls 33 ont vu l’arrivée. Erik Jones (Toyota), Kevin Harvick (Ford), Chase Elliott (Chevrolet) et Denny Hamlin (Toyota) ont tous mis pied à terre avant le drapeau à damier.

Hendrick drivers Jimmie Johnson and Alex Bowman (Chevrolet) were also involved in collisions. If Kyle Busch (Toyota) was condemned to limit the damage by suffering from a car that could be improved, the resident of Joe Gibbs Racing took advantage of the multiple incidents to take 7th place.

Team Penske has long hoped to score a hat-trick, but the "Captain's" team still placed its 3 cars in the Top 5, Joey Logano and Ryan Blaney ranking behind Kyle Larson (Chevrolet) and Martin Truex Jr (Toyota). ). A great way to celebrate the 500th victory for the team.
