Irwin Tools Night Race at Bristol

The Nascar Sprint Cup series held the Irwin Tools Night Race at Bristol Motorspeedway on Saturday night. Ryan Newman started the race from the pole position but it was Brad Keselowski that took home the trophy. Keselowski won the race and picked up his third victory of the season holding off Martin Truex Jr. and Jeff Gordon for the win. Gordon led the most laps of the race with 206. The win moved Keselowski up to the eleventh position in the points standings. Keselowski also won the race with a broken ankle. He suffered the injury while on a practice session at another race track. Next week the sprint cuppers will be racing at Atlanta motorspeedway for the Advocare 500.
