Keselowski wins wild race in Las Vegas

Brad Keselowski hit the jackpot and took home the checkered flag Sunday in one of the wackiest races in NASCAR history. Las Vegas is known for being a place full of surprises and unknowns, and everyone in the racing world saw it come to fruition on Sunday.

It has become a commonplace that if NASCAR is in town, mother nature is bound to be there as well. The forecast for Sunday was abysmal from the start, with a certainty of high winds and chance of rain. The weather held off until driver introductions, when the dark clouds began to blow in, carrying spotty rain along with it.
