If Dale Earnhardt Jr. watched the final laps of the Missouri-Illinois Dodge Dealers 250 at Gateway International Raceway, he may have had to look away.

Earnhardt Jr.’s drivers, Brad Keselowski and Landon Cassill, were battling for fifth place on the last lap Saturday night.

But the two young drivers survived without crashing each other, and Keselowski passed Cassill for fifth on the final lap.

“It’s cool racing your teammate,” Keselowski said. “It’s a lot of fun whether you’re racing Dale or racing Landon. Thankfully, we ran each other clean. That makes it a lot easier on the

“He’s running for a championship, so he needs all the points he can get,” Cassill said.
