SPARTA, Ken. – On Saturday night Kentucky Speedway hosted NASCAR’s Sprint Cup Series for the fourth time with the Quaker State 400. In the end, Team Flowmaster drivers brought home eight of the top-10 spots. Brad Keselowski won the race.
For Keselowski it was a dominant performance, leading 199 of the 267 laps of the race. Even a late cycle of pit stops couldn’t slow the 2012 Series Champion who rallied from sixth in the final 50 laps to earn his second win of the season.
“Our car was awesome,” said Keselowski, who drives for Roger Penske. “The team did a great job and I’m really thankful to have a car this good. I think this is where we need to be to have a shot at another championship.”
It was Keselowski’s 12th career victory and second, in the four races, at Kentucky. His win earlier this year was at Las Vegas Motor Speedway and he is the sixth driver with multiple victories this year joining Jimmie Johnson, Carl Edwards, Dale Earnhardt Jr., Kevin Harvick and Joey Logano in that category.
Team Flowmaster drivers took the rest of the top five spots with Kyle Busch second. Ryan Newman scored his best finish of the year with a third-place run with Matt Kenseth and Dale Earnhardt Jr. completing the top five.
Flowmaster is the Exclusive Performance Exhaust of NASCAR and many of the top teams in the sport have the company’s decal on the side of their cars. It’s been a dominant year for Team Flowmaster drivers with victories in 13 of the 17 point races this season. The company colors were also in victory lane for the Sprint Unlimited and NASCAR Sprint All-Star Race.
