LONG POND, Pa. – Even though Brad Keselowski was running second when severe weather at Pocono Raceway forced NASCAR to call Monday’s Pennsylvania 400, Keselowski was happy for first-time winner Chris Buescher.
“I think it’s a great moment, not just for him but for his team,” Keselowski said. “He’s done a lot. I think he’s a pretty good driver that is in line to get an even better opportunity in his career.
“I’m proud of him. He’s done a great job. He’s doing exactly what he’s supposed to do — and that’s make the most out of every opportunity and graduate to the next one.”
Keselowski is a four-time winner this season, tied for the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series lead with Kyle Busch. Keselowski won his first Sprint Cup race in his fifth start in the series, driving for James Finch’s Phoenix Racing.
Buescher’s maiden victory comes in his 27th start. It’s the second win for his team, Front Row Motorsports.
