Johnson took the lead after the race was sent into overtime following a late caution.  Johnson said he had a strong car at the very end of the race, which allowed him to overtake Kevin Harvick in the final laps.

“Harvick and I got by Joey [Logano] there at the start, and I got a great run off Turn 2,” Johnson said.  “I thought, ‘I actually got a shot at this thing,’ which I didn’t expect to have.”

“Harvick’s been so fast and I cleared him and I kind of got away.  We saved our best for last.”

Harvick, who led a race-high 142 laps, said his car didn’t take off well on restarts.

“We weren’t very good on restarts for four or five laps unless we were all by ourselves,” Harvick said.  “The 48 [of Johnson] was able to hang with us and we weren’t able to drive it in like we needed to.”

Harvick, who has dominated at Phoenix in recent years, had a strong car during the race, but had to hold off Edwards following an overtime finish.  Harvick was able to beat Edwards to the line by .01 seconds.

Harvick said he knew Edwards would make it tough for him at the end of the race.

“I knew [Edwards] was better through 3 and 4, and that was not the car I wanted to see behind me,” Harvick said.  “I got up too high and I wasn’t able to stay on the bottom like I wanted to and he got into me, like he should have.”

“I knew…I was going to have to get into his door, and it worked, just barely.”

Edwards came within inches of picking up the victory, and he said he didn’t quite time his final move correctly.

“I thought I’d just move [Harvick] out of the way and get by, I just didn’t move him far enough,” Edwards said.  “I tried to side-swipe him before he got there, but I needed to be in front of his front tire.”

Brad Keselowski Wins Big in Las Vegas

Originally written for CLNS Radio.

Brad Keselowski won the Kobalt 400 from Las Vegas Motor Speedway on Sunday afternoon.

Keselowski passed hometown favorite Kyle Busch with five laps to go, and he was able to run away to capture the victory.

Keselowski said his car was great on long runs, but he didn’t get one until the very end.

“We had awesome speed at the end of every run,” Keselowski said.  “At the end we got that big, long run…it finally started taking off with about 25 to go and I was able to get second.”

“Once I got to the 18 [of Busch], I saw his car had started to fall off and mine hadn’t.”

Keselowski stayed out during a late caution, and he was able to save enough fuel to make it last until the end following a string of late cautions.

“I didn’t figure there would be any way we’d make it…we were able to save a bunch,” Keselowski said.

Busch, who won Saturday’s Xfinity Series race, said a late-race vibration caused his car to tighten up in the closing laps.

“I had a vibration when we put the right [side tires] on, and then it just kept getting worse and worse there at the end,” Busch said.  “It got so tight; that was the tightest we were all day.  I didn’t know if the tire was coming apart or what.”
