Kes in the 12 at Texas

[south jersey girl]

Saw on foxsports.com that Brad Keselowski may be in the 12 car this weekend

[skool]

Although I think Kes is a talented driver, he's also one of, if not the, most reckless guys out there. (And that opinion has nothing to do with the Carl/Kes crash this spring) You watch.

If one didn't know any better, by driving style, looks and mouthiness, you'd swear he was another spawn of the Las Vegas Busch family.

Krash Keselowski?

Agressive...check.

Talented...check.

Personality...I'm reminded more of a young Kevin Harvick.

I've been expecting Stremme to be out of the 12 before the end of the season, if Kes wasn't contractually available I think Penske would have put Justin Allgaier in just to evaluate his progress.  They need to move Parker Kligerman up from ARCA to Nationwide... to many butts, not enough seats.

Well Skool again we are in agreement 100% ...hanging with that Pretty and Intelligent BB from Ontario must be wearing off... lol !  Just kidding ! I would think that Keso might be a second Cousin to Scrub ! I loved when he and Hamlin got involved in a War of Words ! I agree with everything that you have indicated , Brad certainly could use a dose of humility 101 !

P.S. It would appear that more and more Young Gun just get picked up in decent equipment and they just assume that they are still King of the Hill ! The typical Big Fish in a Small Pond Syndrome , until someone like Smoke or back in the Day Dale Sr. sets them straight ! Having said the above the Kid does have talent , but a little rough around the edges !!

What can I say? A woman can have that effect on a man!!!      

If left to my "own devices", I ain't worth a piece o 'stuff'......alot of fun, yes, but basically worthless

I was so excited when they announced Keselowski would be joining Penske next season.  But as the weeks have gone on, I've been less and less impressed with his driving.  Here's hoping he can straighten up a little so that talent he does have doesn't end up wasted cause he's too busy wrecking cars to do anything with it.

I wonder how Kurt felt after his teammate wrecked him yesterday

[DougS]

Can anyone point to a time when Keso has been agressive in a COT racing in cup.

Talladega held his line as was instructed to by NASCAR.

The next time will be with JPM who raced him just as aggressively, and both raced CLEAN

Talladega (yesterday) spins Kurt Busch was that being aggressive or was that a rookie drive bump drafting a damaged #2 and the body creased causing Kurt to veer at an agle to the #09 and gets dumped.

No doubt in NNS where he's raced three years and has over 100 starts he's agressive. And he leaves nothing on the track.

Lets get him in a full time ride an assess how he's going to race in NSCS. And if he drives over his head we'll call him out on it. But right now we have amny other drivers who drive through other drivers for a win and no second thought.

I wonder how Kurt felt after his teammate wrecked him yesterday

I was listening to the scanner yesterday when it happened...he and either Pat or the spotter were NOT happy at all.  I don't recognize voices because I haven't been listening for very long, but I think it was Pat that said "What's the f$&%ing kid's problem?"  And Kurt's response was "Yeah, we're not going to be working together at all next season."  Pretty much tells the story for me about how he really felt...

Somebody came up with the term "bulldozer" Brad, hell, I like that. Yehaa I am thinking Brad is a take no prisoners kind of racer like the #3 Dale was.

[Montvale]

 Well, I sure am glad you said that so I wouldn't be the first. If you have been around awhile.......Brad is a lot more like Dale than  either of the Buschs.
 Brad just will not be pushed around by anybody, you cut him off, you just wrecked yourself. Period. Denny runs from him now.
 Brad will have to learn to give and take, right now he is not giving at all. He figures he has as much right on the track as the big boys. He could be a great driver, and maybe he will just fall on his face.
 If he was perfect.......Rick Hendrick would not have let him get away.
 Just like he let Kyle and some others get away. I think he saw something he didn't like.
  Now, damned if I know what he sees in Dale Jr. and I am a Dale Jr fan. But not because of his driving, I just like him. That's the way it is.

I can't stand Brad. IMO but that win at Dega changed him for the worse. It was like all of a sudden he got a big head and decided that everyone should just pull over for him or get wrecked.

Next year will be a LONG year for him if he doesn't change his ways. 

[Montvale]

 I think you are right. It will be a long year at Penske. Starting him early sure will not make him humble either.

TF14 I think Brad will be a good driver once he settles down. When the big boys hand him his nuggets a couple of times he will get the message and not be such a jackass. He will win races in 2010 and get alot of press, hell I can't wait.

The big boys have tried handing him something.... he isn't taking!! Remember, Hamlin doesn't like him either, thinks Brad needs to respect (code for move aside) his "elders". Hell, thats the pot calling the kettle black as far as I am concerned.

Kurt doesn't get along with anyone who isn't putting Kurt's interests first. Brad is going to look out for Brad. I don't see Roger giving team orders to the contrary.

Brad will certainly give us something to watch.... better then the exhibition performance we had at BoreADega
