As the laps wind down, the intensity continues to pick up. The latest victim of typical late-race aggression? Brad Keselowski.
Keselowski was running inside the top-15 and battling with Austin Dillon at the time of the incident, attempting to clear himself on the Richard Childress Racing driver entering the first corner, which resulted in major contact and a crash for the RFK Racing driver and co-owner.
The Rochester Hills, Michigan native would then slide from the bottom of the racetrack to the outside wall, causing significant rear-end damage to the No. 6 Consumer Cellular Ford Mustang Dark Horse.
Despite damage that appeared to be race-ending, Keselowski’s RFK Racing crew was able to return him to the racetrack, just three laps off the pace, and in 34th.
The result will not negatively impact the post-season status of Keselowski, who scored his first win as a co-owner of RFK Racing earlier this year at Darlington.
