Brad Keselowski‘s chances of advancing to the Eliminator Round of the Chase for the NASCAR Sprint Cup appeared to take a hit when he was involved in a Lap 59 wreck that brought out the first caution of the day during Sunday’s GEICO 500 at Talladega Superspeedway.
But the 2012 Sprint Cup champion serged late on the second of two green-white-checkered finish attempts to win the GEICO 500 and race his way into the Eliminator Round of the Chase for the NASCAR Sprint Cup.
Keselowski was running with the lead pack when Jamie McMurray suffered a cut left-rear tire that ignited a chain reaction.
McMurray got into Keselowski and Michael McDowell, and sent Keselowski’s Team Penske teammate Joey Logano spinning into the infield.
Keselowski suffered minor damage and took four tires in the ensuing pit stop, and his crew took a long look at his damage.
Logano fell a lap back at the time but already advanced to the Eliminator Round after winning at Kansas. He finished the race in 11th place.
