Brad Keselowski Saves Enough Fuel to Steal Fourth Victory of 2016

Brad Keselowski saved just enough fuel to pass the finish line as the leader to land his 4th victory of the 2016 Season. He literally had just enough fuel to take the victory as he was pushed into victory lane by two tow trucks one on track and the other in the infield. Carl Edwards was blocked by Brad Keselowski in both turns and still managed to conserve the same amount of fuel to finish 2nd. Ryan Newman, Kurt Busch, Tony Stewart, Greg Biffle, Jamie McMurray, Matt Kenseth, Kevin Harvick, and Martin Truex Jr. rounded out the Top 10. Leading 128 Laps, Martin Truex Jr., once again on a mile and a half track, led the most laps but a late race penalty caused the #78 to finish 10th. Kudos to Cole Whitt for finishing 21st, the best finishing underfunded team.

The Motorsports News Source NASCAR Driver of The Week

Leading 75 laps, Brad Keselowski was able to save enough fuel to take the victory tonight in Kentucky. A track that Brad has done very well at in the past, Brad won for the fourth time in 2016 Solidifying himself as a staple in the Chase. Brad is now chasing Bonus Points and The Points Lead going into the Chase and with adding victories it can happen. Especially with us visiting a few tracks for the first time during the regular season and the second visit will come within the chase so it can be time to try different things and try to get the formula to a max for the Chase. Congrats to Brad on the Victory and Becoming the NASCAR Driver Of The Week!
