[autotag]Brad Keselowski[/autotag] moved to the inside of race leader Ross Chastain with eight laps remaining in the 2024 Daytona 500. Keselowski’s maneuver would’ve been successful as he got to Chastain’s quarter panel; however, his progress came to a scratching halt. After Alex Bowman gave William Byron a bad push, Keselowski got clipped and shot up the track into traffic.
The driver of the No. 6 car wrecked out of the Daytona 500 for a 33rd-place finish. It was another heartbreak for Keselowski in the Great American Race. Following the accident, Keselowski talked about the situation and showed obvious disappointment after coming up short.

“It’s unfortunate,” Keselowski said. “We were making the pass for the lead with just eight laps to go, and now I’m here talking to you guys. It’s not exactly where I want to be, no offense, but that’s just part of how this deal goes sometimes.”
Keselowski has been so close to winning the Daytona 500 on several occasions, and he should be the top storyline every time the sport enters Florida in February. The RFK Racing driver needs a little luck to go his way to get it done. Keselowski continues to be on the verge of winning the Great American Race, but it will need to wait one more year.
