Brad Keselowski takes blame for surprising error that cost him the lead

The RFK Racing co-owner was leading the way on Lap 56 at Pocono Raceway when he made a shocking error. Cameras cut to Brad Keselowski as he entered pit road, but he was the only one doing so. The reason? Pit road was closed and Keselowski had just willingly given up all of his track position. It was a stunning mistake by the No. 6 team and one they spent most of the race trying to make up for.

"When we were going down the short chute, the team said pit this time and I had no reason to challenge that," Keselowski told NASCAR on Prime. "Ultimately, I hold the steering wheel and I'm the one that's gotta check and I didn't check the crew chief and the spotter -- that's my fault."
