Brad Keselowski drives for Dale Earnhardt, Jr. Motorsports and flatly "beat" Kyle Busch in an exciting battle on Saturday to win the NASCAR Nationwide Series race at Iowa Speedway. The JR Motorsports team is sponsored by Safety-Kleen and even though Keselowski led the most laps, the win was far from easy. Busch fought all the way from the back of the pack to take the lead, but never had the horsepower to stay ahead of Keselowski. This was the fifth time this season that Busch has finished second and that doesn't sit well with the highly competitive Toyota driver. Safety-Kleen driver Jason Leffler had another great day and finished third ahead of Carl Edwards with Kelly Bires coming to the flag in fifth. Kyle Busch takes his championship lead to Watkins Glen next weekend with a 207 point lead over Edwards with Keselowski 165 points behind.
