Brad Keselowski, Kyle Busch crash late in Cup race

• A late crash in the NASCAR Texas race took out several drivers, including former leader Austin Cindric and contenders Brad Keselowski and Kyle Busch.
• Cindric had led 60 laps and won stage one before the crash.
• The incident marked the 11th caution of the race.

A late crash in the NASCAR Texas race took out Brad Keselowski, former leader Austin Cindric, Kyle Busch, Ty Dillon and Cole Custer.

It happened on the back straightaway with 20 laps to go when Keselowski’s No. 6 Ford Mustang got out of the groove and spun out.

After much of the field avoided Keselowski, who was in 12th place at the time, Custer and Busch slid into the side of Keselowski’s car followed by Dillon.

Keselowski was trying to win for the first time this year and Bush was attempting to end a winless streak, which has reached 68 races and stretches back to June 4, 2023, at World Wide Technology Raceway.

Keselowski, who hasn’t been in the top-10 this season, finished second at Texas in 2024 and had a solid run in the race to that point.

Keselowski and Busch were involved in a wreck at Talladega on April 27, along with Alex Bowman, and Ryan Blaney. 

Cindric led 60 laps and won stage one of the race.

The crash brought out the 11th caution flag of the race.

Michael McDowell was in the lead after a clean restart coming off the 10th caution.

Joey Logano went on to win the race followed by Ross Chastain and Blaney.
