While Joey Logano captured his first pole in only his second start, the man everyone including Kyle Busch at one point was watching was Brad Keselowski moving up through the field and in the process making some interesting moves on track and on pitroad including one moment during the race that got my attention, during his march forward, he made a close pass on Kyle Busch and while driving off gave Busch a nice hand out the window wave, nice touch, while later in the race, a gamble for four tires would prove to be the move of the race as a very predicted late race caution by the announcers in the ESPN Booth would give Brad Keselowski one shot at the leader and after passing first David Reutimann and then passing Clint Bowyer with 5 laps to go, would cruise to his first career Nationwide Series victory. A couple of notables, David Stremme would finish second with David Reutimann third, followed by Clint Bowyer who was leading with 5 to go finished 4th, but is still the points leader.
Brad Keselowski’s victory is the first for the Navy sponsorship and second victory for JR Motorsports following Mark Martina at Las Vegas earlier this season. Great Job, he had a fast car all race long.
