CLERMONT, Ind., July 30 (UPI) -- Brad Keselowski fended off Ricky Stenhouse Jr. during a two-lap overtime finish Saturday, to win the Kroger 200 Nationwide Series race at Indianapolis.

Stenhouse, the pole-sitter, led for 188 laps but faltered after a restart in the closing laps, allowing Keselowski to grab the lead.

A green-white-checkered finish was set up when after an incident involving Elliott Sadler, and Keselowski, the 2010 series champion, hung on for his second win of the season and the 14th of his Nationwide career.

Stenhouse settled for second, while James Buescher, Aric Almirola and Carl Edwards rounded out the Top 5.
