VICTORY LANE
1 Brad Keselowski grabs his 6th Cup win in 99 starts, second win this season, first win for Penske Racing at Talladega
Keselowski Back Where It All Began
Brad Keselowski, who dropped to 15th in points after a 36th place finish at Texas, boasts bounce-back potential at Kansas Speedway.
Last year, his surprising win kicked off an improbable Wild Card campaign that landed him in the Chase for the NASCAR Sprint Cup and the championship conscience with the likes of Jimmie Johnson, Tony Stewart and Carl Edwards.
Though last year’s victory only launched him to 21st in points at the time, it clearly gave the team a confidence that led to two more “regular season” wins and the No. 1 Wild Card seed.

Despite being a five-time winner in the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series, and being a NASCAR Nationwide Series champion in 20120, the thing that has drawn the most headlines nationally for the 28-year-old NASCAR driver is his twitter account @Keselowski. During a red-flag in this year’s Daytona 500, which was for of all things a jet dryer truck fire, Keselowski became the first driver to tweet from inside his racecar.
Instantly he gained over 200,000 followers in a matter of just moments. Little Brad Keselowski from Rochester Hills, Michigan became the headline story on Yahoo.com, MSN.com heck even every major news network. It was a big story — a NASCAR driver tweeting photos to the world, from inside his car during a race — now it may have been during a red flag — to that point nobody had even heard of drivers carrying their cell phones in the car. In that sense Keselowski is a revolutionary member of social media for his sport.
Friday I got the opportunity to ask Keselowski about the importance of social media in auto racing, you could see a smile reach his face as he fielded the question, and immediately one of the most prominent drivers on Twitter took off with the subject.
“I think social media is very important to the sport, and it is very important to future generations and to increasing the younger demographic in our sport. I think it’s well documented that that’s very much needed. And I’m glad to be at least what I feel like to be in the forefront of that,” Keselowski stated.
