and Bowyer made his complaints known
beside Jones’ driver’s window.
“It’s just, what are you going to do?
Turn him right in front of the field and
hurt him?” Bowyer told FOX Sports postrace.
“I mean, he puts you in a bad situation.
I lifted for him and it cost me three
spots right there. We should’ve finished
second. Everybody knows that. That was
dumb on his part. I guess that’s what he
wants, just go down and wreck him in
front of the field. I mean, you’ve got a
run like that, you don’t just move up. I
should’ve just wrecked him, I guess.”
Jones had a different point of view.
“I’d be mad if I was him, but it’s just
racing,” Jones said. “I’ve been blocked
a lot, especially with this package and
I haven’t done a lot of blocking, so you
have to get aggressive and fight for every
position. That’s all I was doing at the
end of the race. We were taking the white
flag and you’re going for it. It’s unfortunate.
You don’t want people upset, but
feelings are going to get hurt and you’ll
move on and we’ll be fine next week.”
In the race 23 lead changes among
12 drivers saw overtime and a late race
scramble, which ended up seeing Brad
Keselowski take the win in the Digital
Ally 400, his second win at Kansas
Speedway.
“I thought this would be a strong
showing for this rules package,” said
Keselowski, who took to social media to
tout that tonight’s race might be one of
the best races at an intermediate track in
a while. “We ran closer than we ever here
before. I think Paul and the team made
some good adjustments. They were able
to dial it in and kudos to them.”
Alex Bowman led 67 laps and finished
third for the third straight week. It was
his third top-10 finish in eight races at
Kansas Speedway. Eric Jones finished
third, his third top-10 finish at the facility.
Hometown favorite Clint Bowyer finished
fifth.
