INSIDE TRACK: Quaker State 400 Review

Posted: Updated:
SPARTA, KY -

A move to a back up car was not how Brad Keselowski wanted to start his weekend, but that with that back up car in Victory Lane, it's exactly how "Bad Brad" wanted it to end. Keselowski led three times for 68 laps to win his third Cup race of the season and all but secure his place in the Chase.  


Staying in the top ten so he can use the 30 bonus points is a top priority for Keselowski.

In what was one of the best comebacks of the season, Kasey Kahne came from a couple laps down to finish a strong second.  Kahne feels the pit crew chemistry is getting better.

Joe Gibbs Racing's Denny Hamlin finished third followed by Dale Earnhardt Jr.   Jeff Gordon came home fifth, one spot in front of pole-sitter Jimmie Johnson, as Hendrick Motorsports drivers claimed four of the top six positions. 

The wild card race has Kyle Busch and Kasey Kahne holding down those spots, but Joey Logano and Ryan Newman also have a win each.
