Brad Keselowski conserves fuel, wins Chase race at Dover

Sept. 30, 2012

DOVER, Del. — To his NASCAR Sprint Cup Series rivals, Brad Keselowski has the annoying habit of doing what he’s not supposed to do — as in winning Sunday’s AAA 400 at Dover International Speedway.

Adroitly saving fuel over the final 79-lap green-flag run, the devil in the Blue Deuce, Detroit’s consummate wheel man, triumphed in what was perhaps the fourth- or fifth- or sixth-best car in the third Chase for the Sprint Cup race.

Keselowski Hasn’t Mirrored Penske’s Dover Success

September 28, 2012 by 1 Comment

Round 1 Chase leader Brad Keselowski doesn’t have a large body of work at Dover, just five starts in the NASCAR Sprint Cup, fewest among Chase qualifiers. He’s yet to show any degree of mastery of one of the schedule’s most difficult challenges. Keselowski finished 12th in June and 20th last September and just two laps led at the track. Keselowski’s Driver Rating (76.1) ranks 11th among Chase contenders. Penske Racing has a win and four top-five finishes, all with Kurt Busch, between 2009 and 2011. Busch won last year’s AAA 400. Penske’s seven Dover victories is tied for third all-time with the Wood Brothers.
