For Brad Keselowski, this year’s Chase for the NASCAR Sprint Cup started the same way it did in 2012—with a victory at Chicagoland Speedway.
Clearly, Keselowski would love to see the Chase end the same way it did two years ago—with a series championship.
Needing an extra pit stop to tighten a loose wheel under caution on lap 183 of 267 in Sunday’s MyAFibStory.com 400 at the 1.5-mile track, Keselowski restarted 16th on lap 187, mired in traffic behind a gaggle of lapped cars. Continue reading →
No wonder they call Kevin Harvick ‘The Closer.’
From the moment Kevin Harvick’s No. 5 JR Motorsports Chevrolet took the lead from polesitter Chase Elliott on lap 37, Saturday night’s Great Clips 300 at Atlanta Motor Speedway was an open-and-shut case.

This is a big, fast place. There’s a draft there. My lane moved along as a group. Even though Joey got out there, he was sort of sitting on an island by himself. We kind of tracked him down. I was able to get to his left rear. When I got to his left rear, drug him back, gave me a ton of momentum. I was able to get to the bottom and get by him.”
