NASCAR results from Las Vegas: Brad Keselowski claims Kobalt 400 on late pass

Brad Keselowski passed hometown favorite Kyle Busch on Lap 261 of 267 and cruised to victory Sunday in the Kobalt 400 at Las Vegas Motor Speedway.

Busch, a Sin City native, was in line to pull off the win with five laps to go, but the No. 18 driver said after the race that a mechanical issue docked his speed and he fell down the leaderboard to fourth place. Keselowski took advantage, despite fuel concerns and weather conditions that brought a sand storm through the track for several laps, and pulled away for his first win of the season and second at the 1.
