Keselowski wins crash-filled Coke Zero 400

“I watched the replay, and it didn’t look as severe as it felt to me”, Scott said. “There’s a lot of great drivers on these plate races and a lot of variables to put them all together”. Powered by Coca-Cola at Daytona International Speedway.

He’s the 2004 Sprint Cup champion. I didn’t take any pictures in Victory Lane. And so it’s nice to. But there are a lot of roadblocks and barriers for a team to do that.

“The last thing I want to do is hit someone like that”, Logano said. In other words, there was nothing going through his mind, so the best course of action is for me to knock some sense into him. We got pushed in the wall and jacked up.

It was a typical result at NASCAR’s high-banked superspeedways, where cars run in close packs and major mistakes are magnified, but not many crashes involve almost two dozen cars. “He came early on, he said, ‘Look, I’m going to help you get a championship team.’ We did that”. “I got loose, I overcorrected for it, definitely my fault. I don’t know what happened to the No. 1 to change lanes as fast as he did from the outside, but we are all dealing with a matter of inches and once that started, it just collected everybody”. “But it’s a byproduct of all the good people we have, and to me, we’ve got to continue to remember that”. “We did everything right tonight except cross the line where we were supposed to”. Go to win a hundred races. We knew we might be able to gain points. Make a difference and there’s no question that there.

“It happened so fast and you’re looking and you don’t really know what else is happening around you”.

“I was surprised we had an issue there”, Buescher said. And he rallied late in the race to move from 13th over the final 11 laps to finish third, easily his best run of the season. Claiming second in the Joseph Gibbs racing Toyota down the front stretch and then again down the backstretch I volley edible. “Got free turning under him & tried to catch it”. Once at the six kind of lost my revolver a little bit then.

Keselowski kept his No. 2 Ford out front for 115 of 161 laps.

Keselowski’s ability to move his auto where and when he wanted it allowed him to attack, such as when he passed brothers Kyle Busch with 16 laps remaining. Ford last restart was wild. “I was telling (team owner) Roger Penske when I was in Victory Lane and the fireworks were going off, usually I’m loading up the vehicle and about to go to the airport, so it’s nice to be here and have a great finish”. “Pretty important night for us”.

“We’ve competed in multiple series, and I think we’re nearly at 450 wins now, and we’re, I think, three or four away from 500 poles”.

“To win 100 races with the competition we have in this sport is unbelievable”, said Penske. Kevin Harvick maintains the lead in the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series standings. “I think that he made an aggressive mistake”. Next up the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series teams head to the Bluegrass State for the Saturday July 10 running.
