After a restart on Lap 226 of Friday night’s Nationwide Series Food City 250 at Bristol Motor Speedway, Keselowski pressured points leader Clint Bowyer. On Lap 227, Bowyer slipped off Turn 2, giving Keselowski the opening he needed.
From that point, Keselowski kept the No. 88 JR Motorsports Chevrolet out front and beat Bowyer to the finish line by 1.025 seconds.
Greg Biffle finished third, followed by pole-sitter Cale Gale and David Stremme. Scott Wimmer was sixth, and a late pit-road mistake—with No. 18 crew chief Jason Ratcliff serving the first race of his indefinite suspension for violations found last Saturday at Michigan—dropped Kyle Busch to seventh.
