JOLIET, ILL. - Brad Keselowski was dominant in winning the Nationwide Series race Saturday at Chicagoland Speedway.
Keselowski capitalized on Carl Edwards running out of gas on pit road to grab a sizable lead that was never challenged. He beat Edwards to the finish line by 8.568 seconds for his third victory of the season.
It was the first win for the defending Nationwide champion since his July victory at Indianapolis. He broke his ankle in a crash while testing at Road Atlanta four days after that win, and sat out three scheduled races as he healed.
Keselowski will start sixth Sunday in the first of the 10 Sprint Cup Chase races.
Brian Scott matched his previous career-best finish of third, earned at Chicagoland in July 2010. Aric Almirola was fourth.
