Brad Keselowski is focusing on winning the 2012 NASCAR Sprint Cup. Thus the driver of the No. 2 Dodge for Penske Racing is opting to skip the upcoming Nationwide Series race at Kansas.
Keselowski is currently leading the Sprit Cup driver standings and after running the Nationwide schedule almost entirely the last two years had scaled back his number of races.
Ryan Blaney will assume the driving duties of the No. 22 Dodge. Blaney recently signed a developmental contract with Penske Racing and has been driving Keselowski’s truck in the Camping World Truck Series.
Keselowski will decide the rest of scheduled Nationwide races at a later date. Seven races remain in the Chase for the Sprint Cup.

Based off the performance of the teams of Brad Keselowski, Jimmie Johnson and Denny Hamlin during the season - and some of them from last year - we had some insight into how they would perform during the Chase for the Sprint Cup.
I'm a little more surprised that we don't have one or two more doing better than they are right now.

Stewart's almost full race behind now
Everyone knew that the race at Dover International Speedway, unless something truly had changed, was going to be a huge obstacle for Tony Stewart. Honestly, for him to come out of there with a 20th-place finish last Sunday, that's really his best Dover finish in quite a while.
Now, though, the defending series champion finds himself well behind points leader Brad Keselowski...

To his NASCAR Sprint Cup Series rivals, Brad Keselowski has the annoying habit of doing what he's not supposed to do -- as in winning Sunday's AAA 400 at Dover International Speedway.
Adroitly saving fuel over the final 79-lap green-flag run, the devil in the Blue Deuce, Detroit's consummate wheel man, triumphed in what was perhaps the fourth- or fifth- or sixth-best...

Like Daytona, the best driver or car doesn’t always win. To win or finish up front at restrictor plate tracks is largely a matter of luck and being in the right place at the right time.
