Chris Buescher shines during a day defined by determination for Roush Fenway Keselowski (RFK) Racing. Chris Buescher’s top-10 finish, Ryan Preece’s stage win, and Brad Keselowski’s incredible triumph over adversity highlighted the day for the three-car team at the Circuit of the Americas road course.

#6 Brad Keselowski – RECAP

It was a gutsy effort by Brad Keselowski on Sunday as he fought through the effects of extreme heat inside his Castrol Ford Mustang, posting an impressive 15th-place finish. Early in the 228-mile race, Keselowski’s cool suit – something he depends on to remain comfortable in the car – failed. Despite outdoor ambient temperatures near 80 degrees, and temperatures considerably higher inside the car, Keselowski endured the heat for more than three hours.

Up until that point, Keselowski showed the strength of his car, blending speed and handling to aggressively attack Atlanta Motor Speedway. He showcased his versatility by working both the bottom and top lanes. Keselowski’s performance was especially impressive as he battled back from a pit road penalty, moving from the rear of the field into the top 10. His comeback was halted on Lap 151 when the incident caused radiator damage.

Keselowski’s strong qualifying performance, posting the 9th-fastest speed, set the stage for a promising race.

“I’m excited about some of the speed and promise we showed, we just have to get the result,” added Keselowski.
