Keselowski wins first Chase race
JOLIET, IL (TheSpread) – Brad Keselowski picked up his fourth, and perhaps biggest, win of the season on Sunday, as he won the 2012 GEICO 400 from Chicagoland Speedway.
With this being the first race in the Chase for the Championship, Keselowski has now put himself up front in the point standings with this win. He sits 3 points ahead of Jimmie Johnson, who came in second on Sunday.
According to oddsmakers, Keselowski had 12/1 odds to win this race, which means a $100 wager on him to win will pay out an additional $1,200.
Johnson led the most laps in the race and had a strong day, while Kasey Kahne came in third and Kyle Busch found himself in fourth place.
