#2- Brad Keselowski lashed out at NASCAR officials after Saturdays race at Texas Motor Speedway because of NASCAR inspectors forcing his team to change the rear-end housing in the #2 Ford before the race. Both cars for Penske Racing, including teammate #22-Joey Logano, had to make the change moments before the race. Logano barely made it out in time for the green flag. Logano started in the back, but finished fifth. Keselowski finished ninth. ‘I have one good thing to say’ Keselowski said. ‘Thats my team and effort they put in today in fighting back with the absolute bull thats been the last seven days in this garage area. The things Ive seen over the last seven days have me questioning everything that I believe in, and Im not happy about it. I dont have anything positive to say and I probably should just leave it at that.” But he didnt. Knowing major penalties are likely for his team, the defending Sprint Cup champion made his feelings clear. ‘Theres so much stuff going on “¦ you have no f”” idea whats going on’ he said. ‘And thats not your fault and thats not a slam on you. I could tell you theres nobody, no team in this garage with the integrity of the 2 team. And the way weve been treated over the last seven days is absolutely shameful. I feel like weve been targeted over the last seven days more than Ive ever seen a team targeted. But my guys kept their heads on straight and they showcased why they are a winning team and championship team. Were not going to take it. Were not going to be treated this way.”(see more at ESPN.com )(4-14-2013) UPDATE: Interviewed Monday morning on Fox Business , NASCAR Chairman Brian France said Keselowski would not be fined for his comments Saturday night. France said he disagrees with everything Keselowski said, but understands that he was blowing off steam. France also defended NASCARs fine of Denny Hamlin earlier in the year.
