NASCAR\u2019s Gander Outdoor Truck and Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series were in Kansas this Mother\u2019s Day weekend and fans were treated to exciting racing in both Friday\u2019s Gander Outdoors Truck Series Digital Ally 250 as well as Saturday\u2019s Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series Digital Ally 400. Ross Chastain took advantage of communications errors between the Stewart Friesen to win Friday\u2019s Digital Ally 250. On Saturday, Brad Keselowski took advantage of fresher tires to pass Alex Bowman for the win in the Digital Ally 400.<\/p>\n

Stewart Friesen won both Stage 1 and Stage 2 under the lights in the NASCAR Gander Outdoors Truck Series Digital Ally 250. However, miscommunication during his last stop didn\u2019t allow the team to get him full of gas and he ended up running out on Lap 165 of 167. Ross Chastain gave Niece Motorsports their first win and his first truck series win. Ben Rhodes finished strong less than half a second behind Chastain\u2019s Number 45, while Todd Gilliland had another strong finish coming in third.<\/p>\n

Brad Wins; Says Bowman Will Win Some Day<\/strong><\/p>\n

Overtime was required Saturday to decide the winner of the Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series Digital Ally 400. The Penske Number 2 of Brad Keselowski took the lead from Alex Bowman on the race\u2019s last restart thanks to newer tires. The win was the third of the season for him, tying him with Kyle Busch for the most wins this season. It was also the third time in a row that Alex Bowman had driven his Hendrick Number 88 to a second place finish. Erik Jones held off Chase Elliott and Jimmy Johnson to drive the Joe Gibbs Number 20 to a third-place finish. \u00a0Pole sitter Kevin Harvick won Stage 1 while last week\u2019s winner Chase Elliott won Stage 2.<\/p>\n

Keselowski dedicated his race win to Mike Mittler<\/a>, one of the team owners that gave Brad his start in NASCAR in the truck series. \u201cI just want to dedicate this win to Mike Mittler. You know, he helped a lot of guys in their career, and I was one of them. He passed away yesterday (Friday). It\u2019s just a huge loss to the NASCAR community. What a great day. On the (last) restart, I just got a great launch and Alex Bowman-he\u2019s going to win a race. He did a great job today. We had a little bit of fresher tires than he did and we were able to make the move on the outside there and caught everything perfect.\u201d That final restart also saw drivers going three and four wide, fighting for position.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
