Description

The Quaker State 400 Presented by Walmart marks the 10th race hosted by Kentucky Speedway in Cup Series history. The 1.5-mile track located in Sparta, Kentucky began hosting races for the Cup Series in 2011, while it had been hosting races for both the Xfinity and Cup Series since opening in 2000. Kentucky Speedway is a tri-oval with 17 degrees of banking in the turns 1 and 2, 14 degrees in turns 3 and 4, and 8-10 degrees of progressive banking on the tri-oval. The track first opened in 2000, with the Cup Series holding its inaugural race in 2011, won by Kyle Busch.

NASCAR Cup Series rookie Cole Custer pulled off a daring four-wide pass for the lead on the final lap to earn the victory in Sunday’s Quaker State 400 presented by Walmart at Kentucky Speedway — the first rookie to win in NASCAR’s premier series in four years.
Custer, who restarted fifth on a restart with two laps to go, made his way forward — daring to go high on track to the outside of a three-wide challenge for the lead among Martin Truex Jr., Ryan Blaney and Kevin Harvick. The 22-year-old Custer held the high line and was able to get around the three veterans — ultimately holding off the 2017 series champion Truex — a two-time Kentucky winner — by a mere .271 seconds to earn the victory.
