Keselowski's good fortune came at the expense of continued bad luck to Kyle Busch, who failed to win Saturday's Heluva Good! 200 despite leading a race-high 108 of 200 laps at Dover International Speedway.
Keselowski took the lead for the first time on the next-to-last lap of the Nationwide Series race after Joey Logano ran into the back of Busch, his teammate at Joe Gibbs Racing, moments after a restart on Lap 199. The contact sent Busch up the concrete racing surface at the Monster Mile and gave Keselowski the opening he needed. A day after failing to qualify for Sunday's Sprint Cup race, Keselowski made a winner of JR Motorsports owner Dale Earnhardt Jr. when he powered his No. 88 Chevrolet past Logano's No. 20 Toyota through Turns 1 and 2 and crossed the finish line two laps later, .299 seconds ahead of the 19-year-old driver. "We had a great car, we put ourselves in position to win, we needed a break, and we caught a break," said Keselowski, who won his third Nationwide race but first of the season.
"Don't feel guilty about it. Not one bit. I saw the 18 slow down and the 20 making a basic maneuver. I just saw a hole, went for the hole and I made it. I was there and ready for it, and it worked out." Earnhardt was one of the first people to congratulate Keselowski.
