Quote of the Day: Brad Keselowski

Can you talk about what kind of role Dale Junior has played in your development as a driver and as a person?

A: (Brad) Well the biggest thing is the opportunities he’s given me to work with good people. And Dale has his own commitments which seem to be a lengthy list, and he doesn’t have a lot of time to be with me and to explain things with me. But, you know, there are certainly times where he’ll help me out.

Going to Daytona he helped me out a tremendous amount. Watching footage from Talladega and showing me what I did wrong and what I did right and trying to explain that to me. So it’s just small things like that that seem to help me out a lot.

Then there’s some of the other behind the scenes stuff. How to deal with the huge amount of responsibilities that a driver has. Not only to his team and to his sponsor.

Would you like some cheese with that wine?

NASCAR has made the perfect weekend for any sophisticated person who loves to drink wine and eat cheese - the Sonoma / Milwaukee weekend!

The NASCAR Sprint Cup Series is at Infineon tomorrow while the Nationwide Series was at the Milwaukee Mile tonight. JR Motorsports #88 Navy driver Brad Keselowski dominated the first half of the race until a run in with Joe Gibbs Racing #20 Joey Logano. Keselowski’s car never came back to what it was.

Logano, on the other hand, continued to hit everything on the race track on his way to a second place finish.

Keselowski finished in 8th position.

Carl Edwards broke a 36 race losing streak in the Nationwide Series, winning in Milwaukee. He had not won since last June in Nashville. He then got out of the car, backflipped, yadda yadda yadda.

Edit @ 10:52 a.m. - Apparently Edwards did not do his usual backflip in honor of NHRA driver Scott Kilitta who was killed yesterday during qualifying.

Denny gets “pissed” on ESPN2

Denny Hamlin said “pissed” on ESPN2 in the post race interviews tonight from Lowe’s Motor Speedway.

This came after an altercation with #88 of Brad Keselowski’s team. Not sure if Brad himself was involved but know that Tony Eury, Sr. was in the midst of the altercation as was Hamlin.

Now let’s see the fines roll in.
