BK Finishes 17th at Bristol Dirt

In the third iteration of the Bristol Dirt Race, survival was again a theme as Brad Keselowski did just that, finishing 17^th in the King’s Hawaiian Ford.

The 2012 Cup Champion began the night from the 31^st position, but took advantage of 14 different cautions throughout – totaling 73 laps – to carve his way through the field slowly but surely.

Keselowski essentially made up all of the ground in the third and final stage as he began it from the 34^th position, and from there kept advancing through the field as four cautions were displayed in the final 100 laps. He was 24^th with 48 to go and restarted 21^st with 15 to go before ultimately driving to the 17^th-place result.

Short-track action continues next weekend at Martinsville Speedway with race coverage on Sunday set for 3 p.m. ET on FS1, MRN and SiriusXM NASCAR Radio.
