#6 Brad Keselowski Recap
Anticipating few cautions, Brad Keselowski and the No. 6 team were set up for many long runs during Sunday’s race. Their calculations proved correct, as there were only four yellows for 27 laps.

Taking advantage of their long-run setup, which provided a consistent pace for them over a lengthy stretch, the Nexlizet Ford pitted several laps later than most. This allowed Keselowski to gain track position and move from 32nd to 26th in Stage One.

During Stage Two, Keselowski hoped to pick up time and positions by running up against the wall. But as he tried to ride the furthest outside groove—a fast but challenging line—the car wouldn’t turn well enough to make it work. Crew chief Jeremy Bullins made several adjustments, improving the car so that Keselowski could continue moving toward the front, getting as high as 18th before finishing 25th in the stage.

Bullins kept working on the car during Stage Three to help it turn. Keselowski ended the day 26th.
