Brad Keselowski victorious at Bristol
Brad Keselowski picked up the win Sunday (May 31) in the 2020 Food City Presents the Supermarket Heroes 500 at Bristol Motor Speedway, capitalizing on contact between leaders Chase Elliott and Joey Logano in the final laps.
Keselowski led four times for 115 laps, including the final three circuits.
“I could see Joey and Chase were getting really racy there and I didn’t know what was gonna happen, but I knew if I kept my eye open something good might happen and, sure enough, it did,” Keselowski said.
“An incredible day. I’m so happy for the team. This was a never-give-up effort.”
Clint Bowyer finished second, followed by Jimmie Johnson, Kyle Busch and Erik Jones to round out the Top-5 finishers.
