Keselowski OK After Hard Crash During Watkins Glen Test

WATKINS GLEN, NY – Brad Keselowski is okay after a scary crash Tuesday during testing for NASCAR Sprint Cup Series teams at Watkins Glen International. Keselowski had just completed his 18th lap at 124.572 mph, best of the 14 teams in the session when the rear brakes failed on his race car sending him nose-first into a tire barrier. The 2.45-mile road course is freshly repaved and the test is in advance of the Cheez-It 355 at the facility on August 7.

Keselowski released an in-car video of the crash on his Twitter account.

Team Penske unloaded a backup No. 2 for Keselowski to run in the test session on Wednesday.
