    - Brad Keselowski ducked underneath Kyle Busch to take the lead with 10 laps to go Friday night and won a wild NASCAR Nationwide Series race at Richmond International Raceway.

    Keselowski had to hold off a final charge from Kevin Harvick, but after Harvick closed within a few car lengths, Keselowski kept him at bay and slightly expanded his margin in the final laps to win the three-way dual among some of NASCAR's most aggressive and daring drivers.

    "You're racing the best and you know if you make a mistake, they're going to beat you," Keselowski said.

    The victory was the 21st of Keselowski's career in the series and second on the 0.75-mile oval.

    "We had a fast car at the end," Keselowski said. "It was just a matter of putting it in the right position."

    Harvick, who led four times for a race-high 96 laps, was followed across the finish line by Busch, whose streak of three consecutive victories in the series came to an end. Brian Vickers was fourth, followed by Regan Smith.

    "All in all, it was a fun night," Harvick said. "He just had a better car for the short runs."
