Brad Keselowski Arguably Had the Best Drive at Iowa but Finished Third
Brad Keselowski had arguably his best drive as an owner-driver yesterday at Iowa, where he finished third, led 68 laps, and won both stages. In a race where it was nearly impossible to pass, Keselowski hunted down eventual winner William Byron to win Stage 1 after Byron made a mistake with a few laps remaining. Polesitter Chase Briscoe beat him out of the pits under that caution, but typically Keselowski opted to stay out long on the green-flag pit cycle while many other drivers pitted. When Shane van Gisbergen spun late in Stage 2, Keselowski was holding the lead but his former teammate Ryan Blaney beat him out of the pits. Nonetheless, Keselowski passed Blaney to win Stage 2 but his decision to again make his final pit stop much later left him buried in the field and he couldn't quite make it back to the lead. Nonetheless, he showed more speed than he'd had all year and jumped from 24th to 19th in points, but he still needs to win to make the playoffs.
