Skipping the Nationwide race, Keselowski decided to move on and compete in the Good Sam RV Insurance 500 at Pocono. It was going to be a race where they had to battle the weather.
On lap 125 the red flag came out because of rain. With Joey Logano with the lead, and more cells coming, everyone thought he would've picked up his second career Cup win. But the rain went away and they dried up the track good enough to continue the race. Logano, who had a Top 5 car all day, however, will fall back and ending up finishing 26th.
On the last restart, Brad Keselowski was able to past Kyle Busch for the lead and he kept the lead for the rest of the race. It was Brad's 3rd career Cup win (2nd of 2011) and is one step closer making the wild card sport for the 2011 Chase (that is if he can stay in the Top 20 in Driver Points).
Another story in this race was the Jimmie Johnson vs. Kurt Busch 'fight' on the last lap. Johnson and Kurt Busch got together and both got into a heated argument after the race was over. It wasn't a Harvick/Kyle Busch type fight, it was more of a Ron Hornaday Jr./Johnny Sauter type fight.
The Cup guys head to Watkins Glen next week.
