NASCAR Cup Series

Brad Keselowski had one of his best-career runs at Phoenix International Raceway, finishing second in Sunday’s Can-Am 500, the penultimate race of the 2018 NASCAR Cup Series season.

For the third time in the past four years Martin Truex Jr. will be going to NASCAR’s Big Dance at Homestead-Miami Speedway.

After entering the weekend with optimism, Paul Menard and the No. 21 Menards/Cardell team experienced disappointment from the start to the finish of Sunday’s Can-Am 500 at ISM Raceway near Phoenix, ending the race with a 29th-place finish.

"I'm really proud of this No. 3 team. This was one of the best Chevrolet Camaros we have brought to the racetrack all season long. We had solid practices, a strong qualifying effort and a good start to the race. We were able to earn points in both stages, but we made one adjustment that hurt the handling of the car and then we're caught on pit road right as a caution came out. These guys never gave up, though."

Kyle Busch won the Can-Am 500 at ISM Raceway in Phoenix clinching his spot in the Championship 4 at Homestead next week.  Busch led 117 laps in route to his eighth win of the 2018 season.

Camry driver Kyle Busch won Sunday’s Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series (MENCS) Playoffs race at ISM Raceway in Phoenix and automatically advanced to the Champion 4 at Homestead-Miami Speedway next week.

BRAD KESELOWSKI, No. 2 Miller Lite Ford Fusion – YOU HAD FOUR TIRES AND A CHANCE. YOUR THOUGHTS ON HOW THE END PLAYED OUT. “We definitely made the right call. It just didn’t quite work out. Man, it was close. I needed to pass the 10 like a lap earlier and we were all racing for all we’ve got. It was close.”

Clint Bowyer, driver of the No. 14 ITsavvy Ford Fusion, is in a must-win situation this weekend as he stands 51 points behind the final transfer position and a spot in the Championship Four. Bowyer, who finished sixth in the spring race at ISM Raceway, qualified 16th yesterday and spoke to Ford Performance before today’s practice about his situation.

In a wild set of final restarts, Brett Moffitt sneaks around Noah Gragson and Harrison Burton to grab the win at ISM Raceway in the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series Lucas Oil 150.

“It’s been a good day for us.  All we concentrated on was qualifying and obviously, we had some good adjustments to the car right there at the end and I was actually able to drive the car without screwing it up.  It was definitely a good lap for us and came at a good time.”
