Brad Keselowski made a busy weekend well worth the trouble. The defending NASCAR Sprint Cup champion was the lone driver making frequent trips between Central Iowa and Pocono Raceway. 

Keselowski will be toting a gas pump trophy back with him after winning the Fifth Annual NASCAR Nationwide Series US Cellular 250 Saturday night at Iowa Speedway. He has won the last three Nationwide starts he has made for Penske Racing, despite not having a Sprint cup victory this season. Continue reading →

“It was pretty funny that we were talking about restarts before the race, and that’s what it came down to.” Continue reading →
