Top-5 Finish at Phoenix Keselowski finished fourth in the Instacart 500 at Phoenix Raceway Sunday afternoon.
Impact Keselowski rolled off from the pole and led the first 2 laps of the Phoenix short track. He'd quickly fall into the clutches of Denny Hamlin but would peddle to strong third-place finish in stage 1. Keselowski would remain a Top-5 competitor most of the event, but seemed to lack the speed to hold the lead at any point for very long. The 25-lap shootout to the finish would see the driver of the No. 2 Ford hold Chase Elliott at bay and collect an impressive fourth-place finish. It was Keselowski's third Top 5 of the season.

Phoenix Pole Keselowski will start from the pole for Sunday's Instacart 500 at Phoenix Raceway.
Impact On the strength of his strong performance and runner-up finish at Las Vegas last week, Keselowski was awarded the pole for Sunday's Instacart 500 at Phoenix. The Penske Racing star led 27 laps and finished runner-up to Kyle Larson last Sunday and that was good enough to tip the qualifying metrics in his direction. Keselowski has never won at the Phoenix oval, but should challenge for the victory Sunday in the Instacart 500.

Runner-up Finish at Las Vegas Keselowksi finished second in the Pennzoil 400 at Las Vegas Motor Speedway Sunday afternoon.

He would lead 27 laps and take the victory in stage 1. The rest of the race would see him racing among the leaders. However, Keselowski could not track down the No. 42 Chevrolet over the closing laps and would have to settle for the brilliant runner-up finish. It was his second Top-5 finish of the season.
