KESELOWSKI WINS AT NASHVILLE
#88-Brad Keselowski won the Federated Auto Parts 300 at Nashville Superspeedway for his first career win in 49 Nationwide Series races (and the first win for the U.S. Navy as a sponsor). He passed #2-Clint Bowyer with 5 laps to go and pulled away to win by nearly 2 seconds. #64-David Stremme finished second, followed by #99-David Reutimann, #2-Clint Bowyer, #6-David Ragan, #7-Mike Walllace, #29-Scott Wimmer, #47-Kelly Bires, #5-Landon Cassill, and #16-Greg Biffle. After starting from the pole and leading the first 60 laps of the race, #20-Joey Logano was caught in a wreck on lap 89 and finished 31st. #32-Kyle Busch, running all 3 races this weekend, finished 3 laps down in 20th after a cut tire late in the race. There were 10 cautions for 41 laps and 8 leaders with 10 lead changes.
(I had to work that night, but got home just in time to see Brad take the checkered flag. When I realized it was Brad leading at the end and as he crossed the finish line, and seeing the excitement shown by his Mom, I had tears in my eyes.)
