BRAD KESELOWSKI – No. 2 Miller Lite Ford Fusion – WHAT DID YOU FEEL. DID THE RAIN DROPS HAVE ANYTHING TO DO WITH IT? “It’s been raining since we started the race. It was just a really light sprinkle and the track was just barely dry. I don’t know. The rain was coming in and out and the car just took off on me. I would like to blame the rain, but I honestly don’t know. Usually when a car gets that far sideways and it’s kind of out of nowhere there’s a reason behind it.

Matt Kenseth claimed the victory for Toyota in Sunday night's rain-delayed NASCAR Sprint Cup Series (NSCS) race at Tennessee's Bristol Motor Speedway.

Jimmie Johnson led a parade of Chevrolets to the checkered with a second-place finish in his No. 48 Lowe’s Chevy SS in the Food City 500 in Support of Steve Byrnes and Stand Up to Cancer at Bristol Motor Speedway, Round 8 of the 2015 NASCAR Sprint Cup Series. The scheduled day race turned into night as ‘Thunder Valley’ was plagued by persistent rain. Johnson, who started 28th, overcame involvement in two multi-car accidents to emerge as the second-place finisher. This is the six-time NASCAR Sprint Cup Series champion’s 15th top 10 finish in 27 races at BMS and his fifth top 10 finish in eight races this season.

JIMMIE JOHNSON, NO. 48 LOWE’S CHEVROLET SS – FINISHED 2ND - WHAT A RESTART YOU HAD THERE AT THE END: “Yes, is was a wild night. But I just have to thank my crew for all their hard work. They burned the midnight oilon Friday night to get some stuff ready to put in this race car for Saturday’s practice and turning it around."

In a race delayed and interrupted by rain, and ended in overtime, Matt Kenseth broke a drought of more than a year's standing in Sunday's Food City 500 in Support of Steve Byrnes at Bristol Motor Speedway.

I watched my first race at Bristol Motor Speedway in August of 2002, amongst a sold out crowd of over 150,000 when I watched Jeff Gordon execute the bump and run on Rusty Wallace with three laps remaining in the Sharpie 500.
