- Brad Keselowski fined $25,000 and on probation til Dec 31 due to having a cell phone in his car

Surely Brad got fined for droppin the " F-Bomb " in the presser ??....nup.....for a PHONE !!!!

I can't remember if anyone else has been on the cell phone before in motorsport.

Funniest finish to a race I've ever seen.

 

[NSWCROW]

All it needed was...........

 

[JUBJUB]

Ambrose qualified 2nd for the final race of the year

Go Marcos front row start

 

[NSWCROW]

Go Brad.
( and Marcos )

 

[CURVE]

Kongrats Keselowski.
Great to see a Mopar back on top.

 

[NSWCROW]

Great win for JG...seeing he shouldnt've even been racing

Good on Brad K , was my pick all year.

 

[DREAM TEAM BUFF]

Hoping Marcos does better in 2013.

Hoping Marcos does better in 2013.

That's really the story every year, isn't it... Really want him to win an oval race next year, that has to be the key goal.

Can a car racing series be taken seriously, when Brad Keslowski is able to win a race in it?

I'd reckon Marcos would be a TAD disappointed with his final standing.

2012 - 18th ( 950 pts )
2011 - 19th ( 936 pts )
2010 - 26th
The natural ( realistic ) progression would've had him finish about 14th - 15th ( a position he held at one stage )
" The sonoma curse " hurt him big time in the end...as did Michigan ( to a lesser extent ).
Throw in the Daytona 500 crash and the Talladega pile up too. ( He's gonna jag a superspeedway win soon i reckon )
Just shows you how hard this caper is.
Obviously the 2 season highlights were the record for fastest lap speed of all-time at Michigan.
Annnnd , probably the craziest race finish i've ever seen to win at the Glen

 

[JUBJUB]

Wow,Kurt Tippett's life really has gone down the crapper

 

[JUBJUB]

Someone is certainly enjoying the sponsors product

It will be interesting next year when Keselowski changes brands from Dodge to Ford.

In the lower classes, Stenhouse clinched the Nationwide after finishing 6th in the last race (the last with 43 starters as the fields in Nationwide are 40 cars from next year), and 13th was enough for James Buescher to win the truck title by 6 points from Tim Peters (who finished 8th). For the record Regan Smith (NW) and Cale Gale (TRUCK) won the races.

I still think he is better off returning to V8 Supercars.

 

[NSWCROW]

Ewww!...Yukky!

 

[Ljp86]

Would bang Danica very hard.

Ricky Stenhouse Jr took out the Nationwide series.
