    Brad Keselowski raced to his third NASCAR Nationwide Series victory of the year and ninth overall, easily holding off rival Carl Edwards on Saturday night at Nashville Superspeedway.

    Keselowski, the series points leader, led 97 of 225 laps in his Penske Dodge and finished 1.67 seconds ahead of Edwards. Paul Menard was third, giving Sprint Cup drivers the top three spots.

    Keselowski, Edwards, Menard and Michael McDowell also will race Sunday at Pocono in the Sprint Cup event. McDowell exited early after finishing 30th.

    "It's still physically demanding. I'm sure I'll do a lot of sleeping on the way to Pocono," Keselowski said. "When I'm sitting on the plane, I don't think, 'Oh, man, I can't believe I've got to fly to Nashville.' I'm thinking, 'Oh, wow, I can't believe somebody is paying me to drive in Nashville.'"
