Holdsworth wins, Courtney takes title

A last-lap change of lead saw Fujitsu Racing's Lee Holdsworth take victory in race two of the Sydney Telstra 500 on the streets of Homebush, but further down the field 14th place was enough for James Courtney to claim the 2010 V8 Supercar title. Holdsworth led until the second safety car period, when most but not all of the field made pitstops. As the race wound down and other drivers made stops, he moved back up towards the front, taking second place with 13 laps to go, and chased down leader Shane van Gisbergen

Brad Keselowski Gets Nationwide Crew Chief Paul Wolfe for Cup Team

Filed under: , ,

No driver competing in NASCAR's two top series showed greater disparity in results in 2010 than Brad Keselowski, who won the Nationwide series championship with six victories while eking out a couple of top-10 finishes in a forgettable Sprint Cup campaign.

Both cars came from Penske Racing, and when Roger Penske is involved, nonperformance won't stand.

Thus, the organization announced Tuesday that Paul Wolfe, Keselowski's championship-winning crew chief in Nationwide, has been promoted to become his Sprint Cup crew chief, replacing Jay Guy.

In addition to the six victories and the championship, Keselowski and Wolfe scored 29 top-10 finishes in 35 races. Twenty six of those were top fives -- a series single-season record. He also won five poles, led 1,147 laps and had an average finish of 5.2.

By contrast, in his Sprint Cup car, Keselowski had no victories, one pole position, no top fives and just two top 10s -- 10th-place finishes at Martinsville and Talladega late in the season. He led 41 laps and had an average finish of 22.4.
