Brad Keselowski, driver of the Penske Racing No. 2 Miller Lite Dodge Charger in the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series (NSCS), finished 11th in the Bank of America 500 – the fifth race in the 2012 Chase for the Championship – at Charlotte Motor Speedway on Saturday night. Keselowski appeared to have the strongest car, particularly during the middle portion of the race when he led many of his race-high 139 laps. However, the No. 2 machine ran out of fuel at the end on the penultimate run of the race and lost valuable track position that Keselowski was not able to make up as he finished just outside the top 10.

As the race began it took the Mil...
