Why does everyone want to beat up Brad Keselowski?

Is he a dirty driver? I don't know what he did wrong. I thought Gordon was the one who tried to wreck him.

I don't understand racing, so maybe I'm missing something, but I do think it's odd that he's so hated.

Enlighten me, MSB.

Guy seems like the Yasiel Puig of nascar.



But I'm probably extremely off base here since I know nothing of racin'

It's quickly becoming the WWE. Same fan base and everything. Won't be long until Cena is driving the #37 Tampax car while the undertaker body slams someone on the hood of his #14 Cheetos Toyota.

Idk but the after race fights are the only thing I like about Nascar.

He's not exactly the cleanest driver, and he's had so many run-ins with other drivers recently that any accident that may be his fault is his fault (in the eyes of the other party). In summary, road rage.

That is probably it. To me, it looked like Gordon tried to clip Brad, so I don't know why he was the one to get all pissy.

because he's a good driver and has no friends on the track.

Keselowski saw daylight and went for it. Gordon was out of line.

That's the way I saw it too. Gordon moved up high enough creating a hole for just a second and the kid stuck his nose in there going for the lead. Good hard racing imo.

Ok, thanks. Now I know it's not just me. I thought it was a good move by Brad.

pretty much. Just think how pissed you get when idiot drivers get in your way. That's just everyday life. Imagine how pissed you'd be if your job was on the line because of them.

For years the fans had been screaming about how boring the drivers were - had no personality and were afraid to shake things up to go for the win. Everybody was too scared to get bad publicity because of the precious sponsors.

Brad shows up, rattles a few cages, and BAM! Everybody is pissed and the fans don't like him. He's doing everything that Dale Sr used to do - move people out of the way to win. But there's a double standard because he's not on Hendrick's payroll, which 50% of Nascar drivers are whether it be through his actual teams or his satellite teams like Tony Stewarts that buy engines from Hendrick.

TLDR? Young guy is winning while wrecking the now old guys. They mad.

I drove a tractor trailer for a couple years.

Imagine being limited to 60 mph and having a radar on your bumper that slams the brakes every time some gets in front of you and slows down lol
