NASCAR: Hard hit for Keselowski in Watkins Glen testing

Brad Keselowski escaped a heavy crash on the first day of a two-day NASCAR Sprint Cup Series test at the newly repaved Watkins Glen..although his Miller Lite Ford couldn't say the same.

The Team Penske driver suffered an apparent brake failure going into Turn 1 , shortly setting the fast time among the 14 drivers present, a lap of 124.572mph.

"Just the pedal went to the floor," Keselowski told NASCAR.com. "It means that you've lost brakes on one of the corners. At a track like this, you're already on the edge. You don't have any room or margin for something to fail. That's the way it is."

Keselowski was evaluated at the infield care center and found to have suffered no injuries.

Afterward, Keselowski tweeted a picture of his destroyed No. 2 Team Penske Ford (above), his mangled steering wheel and a GoPro video showing the moment of impact from inside the car:
