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.

Dover is not going good…

3 weeks ago: Kyle Busch (18) races past a crashing Elliott Sadler (19) and Tony Stewart (20) the NASCAR Sprint Cup, Dodge Challenger 500 at Darlington Raceway, South Carolina, May 10, 2008.

For the second time in less than a month, Elliott Sadler took Tony Stewart out of the race. The first time was Darlington and now… Dover. They should not be near one another on tracks that start with a ‘D.’

Also involved in the huge wreck: Clint Bowyer, Denny Hamlin, Kevin Harvick, Dale Earnhardt Jr., Bobby Labonte, Paul Menard, Kasey Kahne, Bill Elliott and Scott Riggs.
