Keselowski keeps it clean

Defending Sprint Cup champion Brad Keselowski has struggled much of the season, but was pleased to emerge from Martinsville with a fourth-place finish.

Keselowski surprised himself by staying out of trouble on a day that included 17 cautions for a total of 111 laps.

“It’s a short track and by definition there is not a lot of room to race,” Keselowski said. “With 43 cars here, there are a lot of cars on top of each other and eventually you’re going to make contact and wreck each other and make someone angry. I don’t think I made anybody angry (Sunday) and we had a decent showing, so I guess we’ll move on.”
