Brad Keselowski: Fast Talladega Practice

Keselowski was fastest in opening practice for the Alabama 500 at Talladega Superspeedway Friday afternoon. He turned a fast lap of 197.859 mph.

Analysis:

The Penske Racing star topped the first hour-long session at the Alabama oval. Keselowski's Ford was fast right off the hauler. He edged Kurt Busch for the fastest lap of the practice. The driver of the No. 2 Ford looks like he'll be a powerful contender to win Sunday's Alabama 500.
