In the closing laps of Friday night’s Drive for the Cure 300 at Charlotte Motor Speedway, with an air of inevitability, Brad Keselowski tracked down teammate Ryan Blaney and made the pass for the win on lap 187 of 200.

With frequent cautions giving crew chiefs multiple options and scrambling tire strategies, Keselowski had four fresh tires for the restart on lap 182.

Rarely does this team go too far into the season without scoring a victory. However, the team wasn’t fazed by the somewhat slow start this year. Demonstrating their strength as team in this race, Johnson once again proved why he’s a six-time champion. Continue reading →
