When Brad Keselowski’s Ford Mustang pulled off with no power in the Esses with 12 laps to go, it unfortunately spoiled what would’ve been a fascinating endgame over who had sufficient fuel to make the finish to a thus-far excellent stock car road course race.
Could anybody beat race dominator Tyler Reddick – who had the fastest car but was clearly managing his pace to save fuel? Last year’s Sonoma winner Daniel Suarez was on an absolute tear, chasing him down, just as the race went yellow for Keselowski needing a tow.
