The Basketball Hall of Famer celebrated as if he was still on the court after Tyler Reddick stole a NASCAR Cup victory at Talladega Superspeedway, speeding across the line after front-runner Michael McDowell — swerving back and forth in a desperate bid to hold the lead — crashed with the finish line in sight.
McDowell spun out, Keselowski had to check up and Reddick sped by to claim his sixth career Cup victory by 0.208 seconds. “We went to make a move and Michael covered it,” Keselowski said. “We went the other way and had nowhere to go when Michael came back down. It’s just the way this stuff goes.”“He pushed me out. I drove back to him and was able to get in front of him that very first time. But when I came back down, I barely wasn’t clear,” McDowell said. “It’s Talladega. You’re going for it, trying to get a win. We just came up short and took a lot of guys out with me.
He was initially examined and released from the infield care center, saying “I’m a little sore, but I’m all right.” But Jones’ team announced after the race that he was transported to a hospital for further observation, providing no details on the nature of his injuries.In the end, he was able to celebrate an improbable win.
Finally, on lap 132, with the cars three-wide and tightly bunched in the middle of a huge train, the first occurred.
