Memphis, TN (My Sportsbook) - Brad Keselowski charged from fifth to take the lead just after a late-race restart and then held off points leader Kyle Busch during a green-white-checkered finish to win Saturday's Kroger On Track For The Cure 250 at Memphis Motorsports Park. The 254-lap race at Memphis featured numerous accidents, including two caused by Keselowski when he bumped Justin Allgaier from behind and later got into the back of Carl Edwards. On the final lap, Busch made contact with Keselowski while the two were battling for the lead, but Keselowski managed to hold on and cross the finish line 0.09 second ahead of Busch. Keselowski scored his fourth victory of the season and the sixth of his Nationwide career. He also picked up a $75,000 bonus from series sponsor Nationwide Insurance for winning the fourth and final "Dash 4 Cash" event of the season. Busch's second-place finish coupled with a sixth-place run for Edwards allowed Busch to widen his lead to 215 points with just three races to go. Jason Leffler finished third, while Mike Bliss and rookie Brendan Gaughan completed the top-five.
