MADISON, Ill. — Brad Keselowski won the Nationwide race Saturday, rolling past Reed Sorenson with two laps remaining at Gateway International Raceway.

Keselowski, who has a large lead in the series standings, earned his sixth Nationwide victory of the season and 12th of his career.

Mike Bliss finished second, followed by polesitter Justin Allgaier.

Keselowski took on four tires during a pit stop with 10 laps remaining. The move paid off, as he rallied from fifth place with five laps left.

The Nationwide stop likely was the final race at Gateway. Dover Motorsports, owner of the track, has put the property up for sale and has not requested any racing dates for 2011.

Keselowski has topped the series for 24 consecutive weeks. He has 26 top-10 finishes in 32 starts.

IRL star Danica Patrick finished 22nd. She finished a career-best 21st last weekend in Charlotte.

Hornaday holds on for win

MARTINSVILLE, Va. — Ron Hornaday Jr. passed Kyle Busch with three laps to go and held him off in overtime to win a truck series race at Martinsville Speedway.

The victory was the first for the four-time truck series champion in 17 career starts on the 0.526-mile oval, and left him with tears in his eyes when he climbed from his truck.

“This is unbelievable. I won at Martinsville fair and square,” he said.
