Nascar – Keselowski on track for the Chase

Brad Keselowski (Penske Racing) wins his third victory of the season on the Kentucky oval and at the same time offers himself a good place in the Chase which will open its doors to the most victorious drivers. The weekend had started badly for the driver of the No. 2 Dodge who damaged his car after colliding several times with the No. 42 Chevrolet of Juan-Pablo Montoya (Earnhardt Ganassi Racing) and who thus had wasted time during testing. The winner had a very good weekend as he also took second place in the Truck and Nationwide Series events.

Si Kasey Kahne doit se contenter de la deuxième place, la Hendrick Motorsports peut tout de même se réjouir du résultat de la course puisque quatre voitures sont dans le top six. Dale Earnhardt Jr a signé la quatrième place derrière la Toyota de Denny Hamlin, qui vient de renouveler son contrat avec la Joe Gibbs Racing pour plusieurs saisons. Jeff Gordon et Jimmie Johnson complètent le top six. Le poleman de la course pouvait disputer la victoire avant de manquer son dernier restart. Matt Kenseth place la première Ford en septième position en devançant Martin Truex Jr (Michael Waltrip Racing), A.J Allmendinger (Penske Racing) et Kyle Busch (Joe Gibbs Racing), précédent vainqueur de la course.
