The second annual DIRECTV Head2Head Knockout competition ended at Bristol Motor Speedway on Saturday when #2-Brad Keselowski took the checkered flag and secured the DIRECTV Head2Head Knockout title, earning $199,375 for Paralyzed Veterans of America. The DIRECTV Head2Head Knockout competition placed 32 NASCAR Sprint Cup Series drivers in a bracket-format competition for charity. DIRECTV, the exclusive provider of the NASCAR HotPass broadcast, donated $400,000 to driver charities during the course of the competition while fans competed for prizes and a chance at $1 million. Paralyzed Veterans of America is a national non-profit that changes lives and builds brighter futures for seriously injured military members. In 65 years the organization has built 34 chapters that represent thousands of veterans in 50 states and Puerto Rico. Behind Keselowski, the Fastest Four drivers in the high-stakes competition included #17-Matt Kenseth, racing for Motor Racing Outreach; #33-Clint Bowyer for Emporia Kansas Community Foundation; and #24-Jeff Gordon for The Jeff Gordon Foundation. Each of the Fastest Four earned $39,375 for their perspective charities.(Directv)(9-1-2011)
