Winner: Brad Keselowski

Brad Keselowski is having one of the best seasons of his career–and it just keeps getting better.

He’s already picked up four wins on the season, but his outings in the Chase have been impressive.  Though he hasn’t led many laps in the past three races, he’s put together great finishes, ending Chicagoland in fifth, New Hampshire in fourth and–most recently–Dover in fourth.

On Sunday, Keselowski stayed in the top-5 for the majority of the day, challenging for the lead at times and staying in contention for the win.

While Keselowski isn’t earning the wins that he needs to help push him into the next round, he’s arguably the best driver next to Martin Truex Jr. right now, and certainly one of the favorites to make it to the Championship 4 at Homestead.

He’ll head into the Round of 12 with confidence as the Cup Series is set to visit Charlotte and Kansas, two tracks he’s won at, and Talladega, his most winningest track.
