Larry Pearson, son of NASCAR legend David Pearson, injured in legends race PDF Print E-mail


Penske Racing developmental driver Justin Allgaier held off his teammate Brad Keseloski for the win. It was Allgaier's first Nationwide win.

"It feels pretty awesome," Allgaier said. "I have to admit that it's pretty unbelievable. … Chad (Walter, crew chief) told me that if I was there all day long and you push it really hard, you'll be in victory lane and we're here."

At it again

The boys had at it once again, as well. Kevin Harvick got into the back of Joey Logano's car on the last lap of the Nationwide race.

"I just raced with him and raced with him," Harvick said when asked what happened. "He kept chopping me and chopping me."

Logano expressed frustration with the wreck.

"I don't know," Logano said. "I don't understand that at all. It was for fifth place, so I don't know what he was doing. We ran together clean for almost the whole race and then he dumps me on the last lap. I don't understand what he was thinking."

Working it out

Carl Edwards and Brad Keselowski met with NASCAR executives Saturday morning as did their team owners Jack Roush and Roger Penske. The meeting lasted 45 minutes and the two drivers emerged from the hauler together.

They greeted each other, smiled and walked off in separate directions. Both drivers said the meeting was productive. Keselowski said nothing in the meeting surprised him, but he wished something had.

Jack Roush chucked when asked if the two drivers would ever see eye to eye.

"No," Roush said. "But I think that they will give one another enough respect that we won't see another occurrence like that.  I think Carl is not likely to have incidental contact with Brad and cause a wreck, and I think Brad is not like to have incidental contact with Carl and cause a wreck in the foreseeable future."
