Brad Keselowski moved to the front when leaders Chris Buescher and Tyler Reddick hit while battling for first with nine laps left, and he held on to capture the Goodyear 400 at Darlington Raceway on Sunday for his first NASCAR win in three years.
It was the 36th of his career and his second at Darlington Raceway, which he reveres as an ultimate test of drivers. It came in front of his young family with daughters Scarlett, who'll turn 9 later this month, and 4-year-old Autumn joining him on the podium.
"There's a lot of things to be excited about, don't know which one means the most," Keselowski said with a smile.hit battling for first with nine laps left, and he held on to win the Goodyear 400 at Darlington Raceway on Sunday.It appeared Buescher, an employee of Keselowski at RFK, would get the win after he passed his boss and Reddick with 29 laps to go. But Buescher and Reddick then hit and fell back, opening the door for Keselowski's satisfying victory.
"That's two weeks in a row we had a shot to win races," Buescher said."One, I'm going to relive in my head forever at what I would've done different . The other, I need someone else to be more mature about it."One slip-up also ended the chances of two NASCAR champions. Ryan Blaney, Martin Truex Jr. and Byron were three wide on Lap 128 when Byron tagged Truex, who pushed into Blaney and sent him against the wall in Turn 2.
