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.

Daytona 500 Qualifying Trevor Bayne GridAfter Ricky Stenhouse Jr. won last season’s race at Las Vegas in the No. 6 Ford, Trevor Bayne is hoping to duplicate Stenhouse’s success by wheeling the No. 6 to Victory Lane this weekend, where he hopes to improve upon his 11th-place position in the standings. Austin Dillon, last year’s third-place finisher in the final standings, is also banking on a strong finish at Vegas to boost him from ninth place back into the championship conversation. Bayne and Dillon both had strong performances in last year’s Vegas event, finishing fourth and seventh, respectively.
