The post-championship funk continued for Brad Keselowski, who missed the Chase this year after winning the Sprint Cup title last season.
Keselowski had a strong car Sunday at Dover—until a mechanical problem sent him to the garage on Lap 226 with his No. 2 Penske Ford trailing rear-end oil.
“Something in the rear end housing went out and burned itself up,” Keselowski said while his crewmen worked on the car. “We leaked oil on the track, so (we) figured we would come in before we ruined everybody else’s day.”
Eventually, Keselowski returned to the track 45 laps down and finished 37th.
“We’re getting all of our bad luck out of the way this year, so watch out next year.”
