NASCAR Cup Series

Brad Keselowski started eighth in the AAA 400 at Dover International Speedway and wasted little time getting to the front.  The driver of the Miller Lite Ford Fusion efficiently worked his way through traffic

To call Kyle Larson's run a roller coaster day would be an understatement.

Austin Dillon and the AAA Team Leave The Monster Mile with 26th-Place Finish "The Monster Mile certainly lived up to its name this weekend. We struggled from the time we unloaded to find speed in the AAA Chevrolet Camaro ZL1. During the first Stage we made a green flag pit stop for tires because we completely wore our right rear tire down to the cords."

It wasn’t smooth sailing for Martin Truex Jr. but the gritty Furniture Row Racing driver still brought home a fourth-place finish in Sunday’s AAA 400 Drive for Autism at Dover International Speedway.

Paul Menard and the Motorcraft/Quick Lane team had a fast Ford Fusion for Sunday’s 400-miler at Dover International Speedway, as evidenced by their practice speeds on Friday and Saturday.

THE MODERATOR: We're going to continue our media availability around the AAA 400 with two members of the race‑winning organization of Stewart‑Haas Racing, crew chief Rodney Childers as well as team owner Tony Stewart. Rodney, obviously a lot has been made about the speed in the 4 car this year, but this is not the first year that you guys have come out of the box strong since you've been together. But it seems like the results have just been different this year, four wins, the strongest start you guys have had on the results side of things. What has made 2018 different?

KYLE BUSCH, No. 18 Pedigree Toyota Camry, Joe Gibbs Racing - Could you tell the problem was serious? “Oh yeah, it just kept getting worse and worse the more the day was going, especially after restarts it was really, really bad, so I was just trying to bide it out, see if we’d make it to the end. At first, I thought that it was an engine problem, but that wasn’t the case."

Dominant victories are just routine now for the driver that carries the nickname "The Closer." While the smoke and confetti rained down on Kevin Harvick's victory lane celebration at the Monster Mile, he maintained an expression that said "Been there, done that."

KEVIN HARVICK, No. 4 Jimmy John’s Ford Fusion -- RACE WINNER (VICTORY LANE INTERVIEW) HOW DID YOU GET IT DONE TO WIN BY SEVEN SECONDS? “The first thing I’ve got to do is just thank everybody on my team -- everybody at Stewart-Haas Racing, Roush Yates Engines, everybody from Ford for just continuing to put the effort that they put into these cars."

JIMMIE JOHNSON, NO. 48 LOWE’S FOR PROS CAMARO ZL1 – Finished 9th “All in all, it’s been a really good day for our Lowe’s for Pros Chevy. We had a couple of restarts being in the wrong lane. We pitted and we expected a lot more (cars) to come but they didn’t, so we had to start in the teens and start all over again. It’s a good driving car. I’m was really happy with it. It’s amazing how much faster I was when I was up in third and fourth; just had a half a second of speed on our side just due to the cleaner air."
