Joey Logano and Brad Keselowski wreck early as rains halt Food City 500

Joey Logano and Brad Keselowski

BRISTOL, Tenn. — Just under 25 laps into the rain-delayed Food City 500, Team Penske is already in a deep hole.

Brad Keselowski lost control of his Team Penske Ford exiting turn four on lap 19 at Bristol Motor Speedway and swept up teammate Joey Logano in the incident, as the No. 22 Ford hit the infield wall, suffering heavy damage to the left front.

"The rain was coming in and out and the car just took off on me," Keselowski said. "Usually when a car gets sideways and it's kind of out of nowhere there's a reason behind it. I just really hate that I tore up my teammate in the process."

Logano, who led every single lap of Saturday's Drive to Stop Diabetes 300, faces an uphill battle when racing resumes.

"We're just going to fix it and ride this thing out and get what we can out of the day," Logano said. "I think both cars were fast... but I got the worst end of the deal here and that is unfortunate."

With rain in the area, NASCAR flew the red flag on Lap 22, meaning neither team is able to work on their cars until the track is re-dried and the race is back under green.

Kevin Harvick will lead the field when racing resumes.
