Brad Keselowski wins Brickyard 400 as Penske earns Indy sweep

INDIANAPOLIS -- Brad Keselowski snatched victory from Denny Hamlin in the final laps of the Brickyard 400 on Monday to give Roger Penske a sweep this year at Indianapolis Motor Speedway.

Will Power won the Indianapolis 500 in May for Team Penske's 17th victory in that event. Despite all the organizational success at Indy, no Penske driver had been able to win NASCAR's Brickyard 400.

Keselowski, an afterthought most of this season, used fresher tires and timely late cautions to put Penske in victory lane. Keselowski has now won two consecutive races headed into NASCAR's playoffs.
