Justin Allgaier held off a furious charge from his Penske Racing teammate Brad Keselowski in the closing laps to claim his first Nationwide Series victory in Saturday’s Scotts Turf Builder 300 at Bristol Motor Speedway.
Keselowski, who led 73 laps after starting from the pole, said he didn’t mind Allgaier passing him on the restart with 27 laps to go because of an incident at Bristol last year, before they were teammates, when Keselowski wrecked Allgaier in a similar situation.
“I had one coming,” Keselowski smiled.
Kyle Busch was third and was followed by Carl Edwards and Kevin Harvick.
Harvick spun Joey Logano on the final lap to grab his top-five finish. Logano wound up 14th.
Carl Edwards is leading the nationwide series standings with fourth place finish at Bristol. Brad Keselowski is second in followed by Justin Allgaier, Kyle Busch and Kevin Harvick.
