Brad Keselowski Continues to Struggle in Qualifying, but Passes Well Enough to Compensate at Richmond
3 months agoBrad Keselowski qualified 29th at Richmond this weekend, which is actually his worst starting position ever there. However, he's qualified badly more often than not this year and it hasn't affected his performance much because he has been one of the year's best passers. In the spring Richmond race, Keselowski drove from 23rd to 8th, so it's likely he'll deliver a similar performance in this weekend's event. Richmond used to be one of Keselowski's best tracks when he drove for Roger Penske and he has led 1,280 laps there, more than on any other track. When also taking into account his teammate, Chris Buescher's, consistent speed at this race track, Keselowski seems likely to deliver a top-10 finish this weekend, but he's probably starting too far behind to challenge for the lead without strategy.
