TALLADEGA, Ala. (AP) - Brad Keselowski has won his first Sprint
Cup Series race by pushing Carl Edwards into the lead, then driving
off to victory when contact between the two cars sent Edwards
sailing into the fence at Talladega Superspeedway.
Keselowski, driving in just his fifth Cup race, helped Edwards
pass Ryan Newman and Dale Earnhardt Jr. on the final lap of
Sunday's race.
As they closed in on the finish line, Keselowski looked inside
to pass Edwards.
Edwards tried to block, and the two cars touched. Edwards spun
into Newman's path, and his car flew over Newman's hood and into
the safety fence. The fence held and no debris appeared to sail
into the stands.
