He would run the remaining two races in the #21 car. 5.

I can offer a few data points here: Hess started 3rd Elliott started 5th Helland started 6th Bigelow started 8th 18 status - accident (wound up in an accident that saw his car end up halfway through the guardrail) 27 status - engine 11 status - running (he was in a huge wreck that destroyed his car, but they somehow got it back out there, despite the fact that it more resembled a modified than a stock car. I'm not sure I've ever seen a car so beat up and still running) There were 6 cautions Keselowski won this race despite having to make a green flag pit stop. Whatever they did worked though - he got back on the lead lap just before a yellow flew and was able to pick his way back to the front and get the lead back with just a few to go. 7. rm posted: 10.08.2020 - 6:58 pm Rate this comment: (0) (0) Margin of victory - 2 carlengths Cautions - 7 for 39 laps (one more than I'd previously assumed, sorry) Lap leaders - Rowley pole, Keselowski 1-10, Hess 11-23, Keselowski 24-31, Strait 32-48, Hess 49-60, Strait 61-97, J.
