NASCAR - Kentucky

The second race at Kentucky, not bad, some fuel mileage strategy which always makes the end of the race interesting. Brad Keslowski had a strong car and finished with a comfortable 3 second lead over Kasey Kahne. If Kasey had about 4 more laps Brad would have had his hands full. Having a tire problem early in the race, Kasey fought his way back to the front, finishing second. Lot's of just racing.

Congratulations Brad Keslowski!!! 3 wins heading for the chase gives you an almost guareented spot.

Great racing, strong car all the ingredients needed for a win. Tony Stewart had problems tonight with his acceleraton, rendering him a 32nd finish, dropping him 4 position in the Chase. Carl Edwards had to stop for gas, while running 3rd, finishing 20th.
