2013 Geico 400 Winner - Matt Kenseth wins at Chicagoland Speedway
Matt Kenseth, the top seed in the Chase for the NASCAR Sprint Cup, added to his advantage in Sunday's rain-interrupted GEICO 400 at Chicagoland Speedway.
With a strong push from Kevin Harvick after a restart with on Lap 245 of 267, Kenseth pulled away to beat Joe Gibbs Racing teammate Kyle Busch to the checkered flag and deny Busch the second three-series weekend sweep of his career.
The victory was Kenseth's sixth of the season, tops in the Cup series. The driver of the No. 20 Joe Gibbs Racing Toyota claimed his first win at Chicagoland and the 30th of his career.
Harvick came home third, followed by Kurt Busch. Hendrick Motorsports teammates Jimmie Johnson and Jeff Gordon both overcame considerable adversity to finish fifth and sixth, respectively, as Chase drivers claimed the top six spots in the finishing order and 10 of the first 12.
Other championship contenders weren't so lucky. Pole winner Joey Logano brought his car to pit road under caution with engine issues on Lap 149 of 267. After Lap 175, the engine gave up the ghost, and Logano retired in 37th place.
2012 Geico 400 Winner - Keselowski passes Johnson to win Chase opener
Brad Keselowski and Penske Racing met the “gold standard” in NASCAR on Sunday. To win a championship, however, they will have to exceed it.
It's what Keselowski and team owner Roger Penske have dearly wanted: To come out on top in a head-to-head battle with Jimmie Johnson's No. 48 Hendrick Motorsports team for a NASCAR race victory.
Keselowski did just that Sunday using a fast late-race pit stop under green-flag conditions to overtake Johnson and then held him off for the win in the GEICO 400 at Chicagoland Speedway.
The win not only gave Keselowski his first Sprint Cup Series win in the Chase for the Cup but also vaulted him into the series points lead for the first time in his career.
After Sunday's race, Penske repeatedly referred to Hendrick Motorsports as the “gold standard” in NASCAR of late.
There is certainly plenty of evidence to back that claim, including Johnson's NASCAR-record five consecutive Cup titles from 2006 to 2011.
Keselowski qualified for the Chase for the first time last season and finished a surprising fifth in the standings, but failed to post a win in the final 10 races.
