BROOKLYN, Mich., Aug. 15 (UPI) -- Brad Keselowski stormed into the lead on the last lap Saturday to win the CARFAX 250 Nationwide race at Michigan International Speedway.

Keselowski moved past Kyle Busch and Brian Vickers in the final turn and then held on for the victory at his home track.

Busch and Vickers were side-by-side as they crossed the line for the final lap. The two drivers had dominated the 250-mile race, leading 110 of 125 laps.

Vickers, the pole sitter, finished second. Busch came in third to end his series record streak of finishing first or second at 10 races.

After the conclusion, the clash between Busch and Vickers continued as Busch cut Vickers off on pit road.

Keselowski celebrated his third win of the season and the fifth of his Nationwide career.

David Ragan finished fourth and Kevin Harvick was fifth.

Busch now holds a 339-point series lead over second-place Carl Edwards, who finished 40th Saturday.
