The team’s early speed was undeniable, but unfortunate circumstances hindered their results. Chris Buescher and Brad Keselowski were each caught in unavoidable incidents, resulting in 30th- and 39th-place finishes, respectively.

#6 Brad Keselowski – RECAP

Brad Keselowski’s BuildSubmarines.com Ford was making a strong charge toward the front in the closing laps of Stage 2 when an unavoidable collision with Chase Elliott ended his race. Keselowski, racing hard through the field, had nowhere to go when Elliott slammed into the outside wall, blocking the lane the #6 car was charging through. The damage left Keselowski with a 39th-place finish.

“Somebody got into the 9 car and put him into the fence off of turn four. I saw it and lifted for that but he seemed to regroup and was fine. As soon as I went to take off again he blew a right rear or broke a toe link and hooked left right in front of us. So, we hit him trying not to hit him and broke a radiator. That was the end of our day,” Keselowski said.

Up until that point, Keselowski showed the strength of his car, blending speed and handling to aggressively attack Atlanta Motor Speedway. He showcased his versatility by working both the bottom and top lanes. Keselowski’s performance was especially impressive as he battled back from a pit road penalty, moving from the rear of the field into the top 10. His comeback was halted on Lap 151 when the incident caused radiator damage.

Keselowski’s strong qualifying performance, posting the 9th-fastest speed, set the stage for a promising race.

“I’m excited about some of the speed and promise we showed, we just have to get the result,” added Keselowski”
