Streeter Lecka/Getty Images For NASCAR(FONTANA, Calif.) — Brad Keselowski only led one lap on Sunday, but that was good enough to take home the victory after he passed Kurt Busch on the green-white checkered finish at Auto Club Speedway.
Keselowski’s crew chief Paul Wolfe decided to go with four new tires on the final pit stop during the caution and the move paid off.
“An up and down day for sure,” Keselowski said. “Kept fighting and at the end we caught some breaks and made the most of the breaks we caught.”
Keselowski wasn’t sure about changing all for tires, but followed Wolfe’s instructions.
“When he said that I said this could go really good or really bad,” Keselowski admitted. “On the restart we were just able to find our way through the lanes and get to the front there and somehow end up in Victory Lane leading the last lap, that’s kind of a race car drivers dream.”
Kevin Harvick finished in second place and Busch took home third during the final restart.
“I hate that [Busch] wasn’t able to hold on for the win there,” Harvick said. “I would have loved to see those guys get their first win.”
