Keselowski does it again in Indianapolis

A week after the Southern 500 in Darlingon (South Carolina), Brad Keselowski (Ford) won his second consecutive victory by winning for the first time in the Brickyard 400 contested at Indianapolis Motor Speedway postponed for one day due to the weather and which marks the end of the regular season.

Le pilote du Team Penske a pris l’avantage sur le précédent leader Denny Hamlin (Toyota) qui a longtemps lutté pour conserver la tête jusqu’à la dernière interruption provoquée par un gros crash entre Landon Cassill (Chevrolet) et Jeffrey Earnhardt (Toyota). La Fusion n°2 s’est débarrassée de la Camry n°11 dès le restart, le pilote Joe Gibbs ayant eu des problèmes de direction en fin d’épreuve.

“We didn't have the best car but we had the best team. I can't wait to go embrace the brickyard.", commented the 2012 champion.

Erik Jones (Toyota) was the closest to the winner, still finishing almost a second behind. Denny Hamlin (Toyota) completes the top three ahead of the Fords of Kevin Harvick, Clint Bowyer and Kurt Busch.

Kyle Busch (Toyota) ranks 8th behind Jamie McMurray (Chevrolet) who played for a long time in the leading group and who finished honorary champion of the regular season.

Hendrick Motorsports drivers Alex Bowman and Jimmie Johnson narrowly qualify for the first segment of the play-offs.
