Concord, N.C. -- Brad Keselowski stayed on the track during a caution with 45 laps to go Friday and the gamble paid off with a win in the Nationwide Series Dollar General 300.

Keselowski ran the final 57 laps at Charlotte Motor Speedway without a pit stop to protect his lead in the series points race. He recorded his fifth win of the year and the 11th of his Nationwide career.

Martin Truex Jr. was unable to pass Keselowski on either of the two late-race restarts and finished second. Justin Allgaier, Joey Logano and pole-sitter Clint Bowyer rounded out the first five.

Kyle Busch, who led the most laps with 84, had to settle for a sixth-place finish.

Madison, Ill. -- Carl Edwards spun out Brad Keselowski on the final turn Saturday and went on to win the the Dodge Dealers 250 at Gateway International Raceway.

The finish added further fuel to a feud between the two drivers. They have had previous on-track encounters, most notably when Edwards intentionally bumped Keselowski from behind and sent him flying into a wall of the Sprint Cup Series race at Atlanta.
