Kobalt 400 results: Martin Truex Jr. wins
Martin Truex Jr. took the lead to sweep all three stages at the 2017 Kobalt 400 in Las Vegas on Sunday.
For two stages on Sunday, Martin Truex Jr. made the 2017 Kobalt 400 at Las Vegas look like it was going to be an easy race. The last stage ended up being a wild one that saw Brad Keselowski lose his lead and a fight break out between Kyle Busch and Joey Logano’s pit crew after the race.
As Kevin Harvick came into the day as the points leader, he quickly saw his race come to an end. Harvick blew a tire late in the race and ended up having his day end early as a result. Back in the final stage of the race, Keselowski appeared to have it in hand.
His car began to lose power and Truex Jr. was able to pass him by for the win. It ended up being a clean sweep for Truex Jr. and he earned plenty of points in his first victory of the season. As Truex Jr. was celebrating, Bush and Logano’s pit crew got into a brawl that left the former bloodied.
It was a wild ending to a day that started off calm. Truex Jr.’s performance might have been the most dominant one of the season yet. Here are the complete results from the 2017 Kobalt 400.
