Keselowski holds off Busch to win at Memphis

MEMPHIS, Tenn. -- Brad Keselowski held off points leader Kyle Busch on the final lap to win the Kroger On Track For the Cure 250 in a green-white-checker finish in Saturday's Nationwide Series race at Memphis Motorsports Park.

Keselowski was leading when a caution came out with two laps to go because Stephen Wallace spun after tangling with Matt Kenseth. Wallace banged into Kenseth's car after the race and the two had words on pit road.

Keselowski held onto the lead through the overtime segment. Busch finished second and leads Carl Edwards by 215 points in the standings.

Victorious Busch praises Martin

Kyle Busch couldn't have picked a more appropriate song.

"It's amazing, I'm the reason everybody fired up this evening" -- the lyrics of Kanye West's "Amazing" blared throughout Bristol Motor Speedway as Busch was introduced prior to Saturday night's Sharpie 500.

"I don't know if it's true or not," Busch said of the lyrics, "but it seemed like I had quite the reaction when I came out."
