Brad Keselowski wins at Darlington Raceway, ending his 3-year NASCAR win drought

Associated Press  

DARLINGTON, S.C. — There were so many special parts of Brad Keselowski’s first NASCAR victory in three years, it was difficult for him to say what meant the most. “There’s a lot of things to be excited about, don’t know which one means the most,” Keselowski said with a smile. He moved to the front when leaders Chris Buescher and Tyler Reddick hit battling for first with nine laps left and held on to win the Goodyear 400 at Darlington Raceway on Sunday for his first NASCAR win in three years. Fans got on him, he said, when Austin Cindric won the 2022 Daytona 500 that it could’ve been him or when Penske drivers Joey Logano and Ryan Blaney won the past two NASCAR Cup Series crowns.
