In his return since being diagnosed with COVID-19, the seven-time Cup champion had a potential-winning shot derailed by a late incident at the Bluegrass State.
The Cup rookie from California made a bold four-wide pass for the lead on the final lap against NASCAR's elite to grab his first series win at the Bluegrass State.
This weekend NASCAR heads to Kentucky Speedway. The Xfinity Series will feature a double-header, competing on Thursday and Friday while the Gander and RV Outdoors Truck Series will provide Saturday's racing action. The Cup Series will close out the weekend Sunday afternoon with the Quaker State 400.
