HOMESTEAD, Fla. — It was all in the restarts in Saturday’s Ford EcoBoost 300 at Homestead-Miami Speedway, as both race winner Brad Keselowski and NASCAR Nationwide Series champion Austin Dillon accomplished their respective goals thanks to late-race charges.
After a restart with five laps left, Keselowski surged from 10th to the lead by Lap 198 of 200, passing both Kyle Busch and race runner-up Kyle Larson to take over the top spot.
“That late-race restart was key,” Keselowski said in Victory Lane. “We came in and put tires on with 20 to go, and that yellow (for a four-car crash on Lap 183) was out for [12 laps], and I didn’t think we were going to have a shot at it.

Be glad there wasn’t a passenger with me, because they would have been screaming the whole way. I know I was.” Continue reading “Brad Keselowski Wins At Homestead, As Austin Dillon Claims NNS Title”
