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 →

The car and driver to beat in the 2014 Chase for the NASCAR Sprint Cup identified themselves emphatically on Saturday night at Richmond International Raceway.
Brad Keselowski led all but 17 of 400 laps in winning the Federated Auto Parts 400, the last race of the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series regular season. In the process, he won his fourth race of the season and secured top seeding for the ten-race Chase, which starts Sunday, September 14 at Chicagoland Speedway at 2 pm ET on ESPN.
Ryan Newman and Greg Biffle secured the last two of the 16 Chase spots on points, Newman with a solid ninth-place run, Biffle with a much shakier 19th-place finish, two laps down.
