In the longest race in NASCAR history, Keselowski wins his first’ Coca-Cola 600 'at the Charlotte Motor Speedway 

Brad Keselowski won his first' Coca-Cola 600 ' at the Charlotte Motor Speedway oval this Sunday night. It was also his first win of the season and Team Penske's third in the first seven races of the Cup Series.
Hendrick Motorsports teammates Jimmie Johnson and Chase Elliott finished second and third. Johnson took the checkered flag 0,3 s ago and Keselowski.
Elliott came to lead the race, having taken the lead of Keselowski missing 37 of the 400 laps planned, when another Hendrick driver, Williams Byron, hit the last laps. As a result, the race was extended and Elliott was the only one to go to the pits during the yellow.
After his stop, Elliott relargued among the top 20, but with newer tires, while Keselowski and Johnson resumed in the front row.
Because of its extent, this Sunday's race was the longest race in NASCAR history. Keselowski started the NASCAR "marathon" at the end of the grid because of an unapproved change in his car before the race.
Keselowski, however, was close to the leaders by the time the yellow flag came to Joey Gase just after lap 350 to get out of the pits in second and then take Johnson's lead on the restart.
Elliott started the race in third position, but he also had to climb the platoon after an extra pit stop to remove a rubber stop from the springs in the middle of the race.
Alex Bowman, teammate of Johnson and Elliott, dominated the first half of the race. After Kurt Busch dropped on pole and led the first 54 laps, bownan led took the lead after a red flag on account of rain.
By Lap 200, Bownan had led 140 laps and won the first two stages. In addition to the first laps led by Busch, the only laps not led by Bowman in the first two stages of 100 laps were the laps during a cycle of green flag stops in the 2nd stage.
The 1st stage ended with yellow flag after Clint Bowyer hit hard on Lap 97.
Bowman led 163 laps before another rider, Martin Truex Jr. finally take the lead on lap 224.
Truex led about half of the laps that made up the third stage, but Joey Logano was one of three drivers to stand out during a warning following Matt Kenseth's crash on Lap 275. Despite being with older tires, Logano managed to stay in front until the end of the 3rd stage on Lap 300.
Matt DiBenedetto used a two-tire strategy to get off the track first after the end of Stage 3 to restart in the lead. He managed to hold the position until Truex resumed P1 on Lap 312. Johnson passed DiBenedetto a few laps later and took the lead from Truex, coming out of the pits first after Gase's yellow.
Ryan Blaney Finished fourth and Kyle Busch was fifth after overcoming a penalty for speeding in the pits halfway through the race.
Kevin Harvick was sixth and Truex seventh. Kurt Busch finished eighth after an unscheduled pit stop due to a loose wheel in the final 100 laps. Tyler Reddick was ninth and Christopher Bell finished in the top 10.
