Brad Keselowski, the current No. 1 driver in NASCAR’s Sprint Cup series, and winner in two of its first three postseason Chase for the Cup events, met his match on Tuesday at Charlotte Motor Speedway in Concord, N.C. when Josh Bralley of Hickory, N.C. outgunned him to the finish in Activision’s NASCAR The Game: Inside Line.

Bralley finished ninth in the series this year. He beat seven other gamers in a preliminary series earlier in the day to win a shot at Keselowski.
Keselowski, the current Sprint Cup points leader, presented Bralley with a trophy after suffering the loss. NASCAR’s series movies to Talladega this weekend with Keselowski in front by five points over five-time series champion Jimmie Johnson.
