Fuel miser Brad Keselowski got 73 laps out of his last tank of fuel and had enough left in the tank to outrun Denny Hamlin in Saturday’s History 300 NASCAR Nationwide Series race at Charlotte Motor Speedway and do a celebratory burnout afterward.
The victory was Keselowski’s first in the series this year and the 18th of his career. Hamlin crossed the finish line .838 seconds behind the 2010 Nationwide champion. Kyle Busch ran third, followed by Kevin Harvick and Elliott Sadler.
