Brad Keselowski Has Good Strategy, but Not Enough to Win
In a Brickyard 400 that was pretty much just a strategy roulette, Brad Keselowski attempted to make up for his painful near miss last year and almost succeeded as the No. 6 team's typical decision to stay out later than other drivers on the race's final green-flag pit sequence reaped great dividends when the race had two overtime restarts, which resulted in a crash and several drivers running out of fuel. The greater fuel and fresher tires allowed Keselowski to drive from 12th to 5th in the last three laps of the race, although he needed to win to have any chance of making the playoffs with his own car. However, he was more successful as an owner as Ryan Preece finished one position ahead of him and Chris Buescher ran well and more or less maintained his playoff position despite losing several positions on the final restart.
