Vikings' Asher Allen retires at age 24
LONG POND, Pa., Aug. 7 (UPI) -- Brad Keselowski shook off a fractured ankle and overcame rainy conditions Sunday to win the Good Sam RV Insurance 500 at Pocono Raceway.
Keselowski hurt the ankle during a test run Wednesday at the Road Atlanta road course in Braselton, Ga., slamming his car into the wall at more than 100 mph.
The painful injury didn't seem to bother him Sunday as he raced past Kyle Busch for the lead just after the final restart with 15 laps remaining and then held on for an 0.8-second win.
Keselowski claimed his second win of the season and the third of his Sprint Cup Series career. The victory put him in the first wild card position for the championship Chase.
Kyle Busch finished second, Kurt Busch came in third and Jimmie Johnson took the fourth spot after sparring with Kurt Busch during the final laps.
The two drivers exchanged heated words after the race.
Ryan Newman rounded out the Top 5.
