Race #17 - Quaker State 400
The NASCAR Sprint Cup Series made their 17th stop of 2012 at the Kentucky Speedway, in Sparta, Kentucky, for the Quaker State 400.
Denny Hamlin led the field to the green for the fourth time in 2012 as for only the second time in series history, drivers raced at Kentucky. Hamlin would lead the first twenty four laps before Jason Leffler took over, before Brad Keselowski moved into the lead as he would have a race long battle with Hamlin as the race would be slowed by 11 cautions. Hamlin and Keselowski would lead a combined 219 of the 267 laps and Keselowski appeared to heading for his first win of the year, but right behind him was The Motorsports Group driver Matt DiBenedetto, who was racing as a replacement for Steve Park who was injured at Sonoma. DiBenedetto had ran in the Top 5 for the entire night until finally making his move with twelve laps to go and would hold off both Keselowski and Hamlin to score his first career win in just his second start.
Other Noticeables:
Matt DiBenedetto scored his 1st win of the year,
DiBenedetto led 1 time for 12 laps, which were the final 12 laps,
It was the 1st win of his career in the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series in his 2nd start,

Race #18 - Coke Zero 400
The NASCAR Sprint Cup Series made their 18th stop of 2012 at the Daytona International Speedway, in Sparta, Kentucky, for the Coke Zero 400.
Brad Keselowski led the field to the green for the second time in 2012 and would lead the first twenty one laps around the two and a half mile track with the action staying intense for the entire event as battles for position and the lead happening nearly every single lap. Carl Edwards would dominate the race, leading 55 of the event's laps but just seconds away from taking the white flag, the event's second caution came out, setting up a Green, White, Checkered finish.
When the green flag dropped, Edwards was on defense over the final two laps, trying to block both the high and low lanes and would be successful the first lap, but coming down the backstretch, Jeff Burton and Jeff Gordon hooked up and worked together to team up on Edwards's lone Ford and push past him coming out of Turn 3 with Burton pulling Gordon behind him with Gordon making a move in the tri-oval but wasn't fast enough with Burton scoring his first win in almost four years.
Other Noticeables:
Jeff Burton scored his 1st win of the year,
Burton led 4 times for 15 laps, including the final lap,
It was the 22nd win of his career in the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series and his first since 2008 at Charlotte; 131 races ago,
Greg Biffle, who finished 17th, kept his points lead, leading Carl Edwards by 36 points

Contrary to popular belief, my mock season is not dead, merely was not my main focus, but I will do my best to upload more often since my schedule has cleared up a little more over the past few weeks.
