Behind the wheel of a red colored Penske Racing Ford, Brad Keselowski scored his second NASCAR win in two days as he staged a dominating performance leading 138 of 301 laps and winning the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series Camping World RV Sales 301 Sunday.  Keselowski survived a green white checkered flag finish to score his first career win at New Hampshire Motor Speedway.

Keselowski spent little time outside the top spot all afternoon and was able to score his third win of the season and his second in the last three races.  The victory also came a day after he won Friday’s NASCAR Nationwide Series race at New Hampshire marking the first time a driver swept both races at the Loudon New Hampshire track.

“This was a hard fought battle passing cars and trying to stay up front all day,” Keselowski said in victory lane. MORE>>>
