Daytona Beach, Fla.
Keselowski has four career victories at Talladega Superspeedway, including a win there in May. But he could never pull it off at Daytona, at least not until Saturday night’s dominating run. The win was the 100th for Team Penske.
The race was marred by a 22-car accident that collected more than half the field and thinned the competition for Keselowski. It really left only Kyle Busch as a legitimate contender, but a restart for a two-lap shootout that sent it into overtime forced Keselowski to earn the win.
He easily held off Busch, and challenger Kurt Busch was eliminated when he was knocked out of line as they headed to the checkered flag.

The British cyclist won a sprint in the crash-marred opening stage of the Tour de France and took the overall lead on Saturday following a picturesque first stage that finished on Utah Beach, where Allied troops landed on D-Day in 1944.
It was Cavendish’s 27th stage win in the French classic — third on the all-time list behind Eddy Merckx (34) and Bernard Hinault (28) — but he had never won the opening leg, which is often a time trial.
German rival Marcel Kittel and Slovakian standout Peter Sagan finished second and third, respectively.
Two-time Tour winner Alberto Contador crashed midway through the stage and several riders were involved in an ugly crash on the final straight.
Akron, Ohio
Day hoped to try to expand his one-shot lead at Firestone. Instead, he goes into the final round of this World Golf Championship in a tie with Piercy, who had a 67 and is coming off a runner-up finish in the U.S. Open. Day and Piercy were at 5-under 205.
Seven players were separated by just three shots going into the final round. That includes U.S. Open champion Dustin Johnson, who had a 66 and was only three shots behind.
Jordan Spieth also was in the mix until a triple bogey on the 16th hole sent him to a 71. He was five shots back.
At Portland, Ore., defending champion Brooke Henderson continued her mastery of Columbia Edgewater Country Club, shooting a 70 Saturday to take a two-stroke lead after three rounds of the Cambia Portland Classic.
The 18-year-old Canadian, who claimed her first LPGA Tour win a year ago in Portland, was at 13-under 203 heading into Sunday’s final round. Henderson leads Colombia’s Mariajo Uribe, who is 11-under after a 71.

The Knicks will become the seventh team for the well-traveled Lee, who just finished his eighth NBA season. Lee averaged 9.6 points last season for Memphis and Charlotte, matching his career average.
Lee has also played for Orlando, New Jersey, Houston and Boston. He’s also been to the playoffs five times, including each of the past four seasons.
With no roster depth at center, the Washington Wizards agreed Saturday to pay Ian Mahinmi $64 million over four years, according to a person familiar with the deal.
The Washington Post first reported the terms of the contract.
Mahinmi is a 6-foot-11, 250-pound center who averaged career highs of 9.3 points, 7.1 rebounds, 1.5 assists and about 25 minutes in 71 games, all starts, for the Indiana Pacers last season.
Charlotte, n.c.
The 30-year-old Williams averaged 11.7 points and 6.4 rebounds for the Hornets last season while shooting a career-best 40.2 percent from 3-point range. For his career, Williams has averaged 10.5 points and 5.2 rebounds.
New York
The cap last season was $70 million. The increase was largely because of revenue increases tied to the league’s new national TV deals, worth about $2.5 billion a year, that begin next season.
Montreal
The 23-year-old Salazar made his first career start in place of Didier Drogba, out with a leg injury.

Kei Kamara scored twice to put New England (4-6-7), playing its third straight road game, up 2-0 in the 33rd minute.
