Description

The 2019 Digital Ally 400 was a Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series race held on May 11, 2019, at Kansas Speedway in Kansas City, Kansas. Contested over 271 laps -- extended from 267 laps due to an overtime finish, on the 1.5 mile (2.4 km) asphalt speedway, it was the 12th race of the 2019 Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series season.

In a two-lap overtime shootout, Brad Keselowski beat Alex Bowman to the finish line by .205 seconds, as the race went four laps beyond its scheduled 267. The victory was Keselowski’s third of the season — matching Kyle Busch for most in the Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series — his second at Kansas and the 30th of his career.
With fresher tires, thanks to a pit stop under caution on Lap 241, the driver of the No. 2 Team Penske Ford grabbed the lead from Bowman on Lap 261, building momentum down the backstretch and passing the No. 88 Chevrolet to the outside through Turns 3 and 4. The runner-up finish was Bowman’s third straight, following second-place runs at Talladega and Dover.
Saturday’s race was the first under the lights with the new higher-downforce, lower-horsepower competition package NASCAR introduced this year.
