Brad Keselowski Starts On Pole At Martinsville
4 years agoPenske Racing's Brad Keselowski will start from the pole position in Sunday's Xfinity 500 at Martinsville Speedway. Keselowski comes to the half-mile track in Virginia, looking to solidify his spot in the championship race. Keselowski has a decent points cushion but will need to run well in case a driver currently below the cutline wins the race. Keselowski should do so as he has a stellar record at Martinsville. In 21 starts at Martinsville, Keselowski has two victories, 10 top-fives, and 15 top-10 finishes. Keselowski also has a streak of nine straight Martinsville top-10 finishes, including the two aforementioned wins and eight top-fives. In 2019, Keselowski dominated, leading 446 of 500 laps in a victory. Keselowski's DFS salary is very high, but he will have the advantage of leading some early laps. While he may not have the best value among the high-end drivers, Keselowski is certainly a worthy selection for this race.
