The only driver to win both NASCAR’s K&N Pro Series East & West championships back-to-back is Dylan Kwasniewski.

This year straight from the K&N Pro Series, Kwasniewski is driving a full-time schedule in the Nationwide Series with Turner Scott Motorsports and is contending for series’ Rookie of the year honors.

Along with Kwasniewski’s ability to attract a younger NASCAR audience, some of NASCAR’s top-series teams are noticing Kwasniewski’s talent, making him highly sought as a development driver.

A somewhat surprising outcome to the Drive4COPD 300 featured the outside lane pushing Regan Smith to victory. All day, the outside lane struggled to keep up with the inside lane.
