Talladega Knight
Brad had a rough night in Charlotte, but The "Talladega Knight" will charge to the front on his "horse" and finish P-1!

Brad appeared to be on a teeter-totter all night long! Up and down, up and down, etc. (you get the picture!) In the end, emotions flowed, tempers flared and it looked more like a demolition derby than a race. It's on to Dega where anything can and will happen. Just remember, it's not over 'til it's over!
Brad had a tough week in Kansas, but like Dorothy in the Wizard of Oz, he will continue down the "Yellow Brick Road". He might meet some new friends and encounter a road block or two but will meet his challenge when it's all said and done.
Brad was fast all weekend. He started fourth and led twice for 78 laps. He ran up front most of the race and finished second. Guess you can say that he decimated Miles the Monster. Now Brad's movin' on to the Contender Round where he is seeded first (although the points for all twelve drivers are reset to 3000).
Brad could have relaxed and taken it easy in Loudon due to his Chicago win, but that's not his style. He started on the pole for the fifth time this year. He found himself back in the pack after a pit road gamble, but quickly fought his way to the front. Later, he took a nasty spin but stayed on the lead lap and worked his way back to the front. Brad was held up on a late restart and finished seventh.
Brad aka The Decimator" along with his Crew Chief Paul aka The "Wolf" (with a mind like a steel trap and senses like a wolf searching for his prey) decimate the competition in short order every race in the Decimator's quest for a second championship!
If you are in the Chase and your name isn't Brad, you should be very worried! Brad raced through the field in short order and once again battled back in classic Brad fashion when he restarted 17th with 80 laps to go due to a possibly loose lug nut. With just a few laps left, Brad pulled off what is sure to become one of the best ever power pass, and quickly pulled away from the rest of the field.
There is only one work to describe Brad's Richmond Race and that word is PERFECTION! He sat on the Pole, came off Pit Road P1 after every stop, led 383 laps, and won the race in stellar fashion as only Brad could do! Awesome performance!!
The temperature rose, nerves frayed, and tempers flared! All of these combined made for a very hot night in Georgia! Brad started P2 and was running well until he overshot his pit box. But in classic Brad style he fought his way back to fourth when he got caught up and put into the wall with only 29 laps to go.
The track at Bristol, Tennessee was great for Team Penske drivers. Brad Keselowski won his 1st truck race, Ryan Blaney won the Nationwide Race, and Joey Logano won the Irwin Tool Night Race, barely beating out his teammate Keselowski.
