Brad Keselowski got the break he was looking for Sunday in Kansas. His Penske teammate Kurt Busch dominated the STP 400 but in the end it was the Blue Deuce parked in Victory Lane. Look for the No. 2 team to score again soon. Dale, Jr. turned in another strong performance this week and it is only a matter of time before he earns another Sprint Cup win, something that a majority of race fans are looking forward to seeing.

VICTORY LANE
Brad Keselowski - Great call by the crew to get his 2nd career win.
Dale Earnhardt Jr. – It’s just a matter of time before he wins a race, right?
Penske Racing – Kurt Busch leads the most laps and Keselowski gets the win.

THE GARAGE
Ford Racing minus Roush Fenway cars – Best finish 26th, Top 4 Fords all Roush cars.
Richard Childress – Just for his actions this weekend and his cars were not that good at Kansas.
Storyline that we will remember: Brad Keselowski wins his 2nd career Sprint Cup race.
Storyline that we will forget: Kurt Busch dominates the race but could not get the win.
