Food City 500 at Bristol Wrap-Up

Just seconds after pulling into victory land, Brad Keselowski posted a picture of his view from the winning race car. Keselowski dominated the race leading 232 of the 500 laps including the most important, final lap en route to his second Bristol victory. He managed to hold off Matt Kenseth even as he seemed to jump the mid race restart without any reaction from NASCAR officials.

Keselowski did manage to avoid a major wreck on lap 25 by just inches after Kasey Kahne (who fell back to 32nd in points) cut in-front of Regan Smith also taking out Carl Edwards, Kevin Harvick, Marcos Ambrose and Kyle Busch.

Besides the win from Keselowski and the #2 Miller Light Dodge, we saw a great race from Michael Waltrip Racing who fielded the 3-4-5 place finishers with Truex Jr, Bowyer, and Vickers respectively. This was a bounce-back race for Brian Vickers with his fifth place finish in his first Sprint Cup race of the year since Red Bull closed its doors following the 2011 season. I look to see Vickers perform well in his remaining five races as he looks to prove he deserves a Sprint Cup ride.

The next race is the Auto Club 400 at Fontana.
