Top Ten Reasons NASCAR Gave a Warning To Brad Keselowski

Jeff Meyer · Wednesday October 7, 2009

 

10. They got confused for a moment and thought it was Kyle Busch.

9. Brad was seen talking to Matt Crafton moments before the race.

Brad, we don’t give a damn if this is the Nationwide Series, you’re not giving the Chasers enough room!

8. As a director, it’s their job to “direct” the actors when they get to improvising too much.

7. Figured that, as a young driver, he wasn’t aware of the law to “move over and slow down when a Chase vehicle is approaching.”

6. It had been almost a week since NASCAR had done anything stupid.

5. They wanted to send a clear message to Steven Wallace, in case he ever gets a Cup ride.

4. They didn’t want to hear the same ol’ song and dance from Montoya that the other cars were racing him “dirty.”

3. To make a feeble attempt to appear not be kissing Hendrick’s ass.

2. They were still a little miffed that Keselowski had the audacity to qualify third, and to think it was a real race, especially during NASCAR’s showcase “Chase.”

1. According to recently signed contracts, the GoDaddy.com sponsored Chevy is not scheduled to record a top 5 or Cup victory until sometime during the 2010 season, and the legal department was getting a little nervous.

Great stuff Jeff! This is exactly what’s wrong with the “chase”! Once it starts, there are only 12 cars racing! All the others become “also-rans” or “field-fillers”! Sponsors don’t get TV time, because the cameras follow the chase cars. Drivers not in the chase get snubbed, because nobody talks about anyone but the 12! Worst of all, these other 31 cars better not race to win or they’ll be scolded!The “chase” was only created to compete with NFL tv audiences, but it is not working!

Next NASCAR will ban scanners so that fans/others can’t hear when they put their foot in their mouth! Unbelievable!

At least 12 cars get attention during the last 10 races. Before the Chase era, you might be lucky enough to see the points leader and the one or two drivers closest to him in points be featured.
