With 60 laps to go, teammates Ryan Blaney and Brad Keselowski had a bad crash that ended both their races.
“It’s ******* killed, bud,” Blaney said of his car. Keselowski’s spotter asked him if he was okay. “Yeah. Hey Paul (Wolfe), I’m sorry,” replied Keselowski.

The race saw a tight finish with Harvick edging Hamlin by just 0.093 seconds. “Great job guys, awesome job. Two days in a row,” Harvick said to his team.
