KANSAS CITY, Kan., Oct. 8 (UPI) -- Brad Keselowski cruised to his fourth Nationwide Series win of the season Saturday, leading for 173 of 200 laps of the Kansas Lottery 300.

Keselowski, the defending Nationwide champion, collected the 16th victory of his career in the series.

He was hit with a stalled engine on pit road during a caution, but after restarting in 14th place grabbed the lead again within only five laps, passing Carl Edwards.

Keselowski finished 2.8 seconds ahead of Edwards.

Elliott Sadler claimed third place, allowing him to cut two points from Ricky Stenhouse Jr.'s series championship lead.

Paul Menard came in fourth while Stenhouse rounded out the Top 5 Saturday.
