From Scene Daily:
MIAMI BEACH, Fla. Brad Keselowski has been fined $25,000 for critical comments he made about NASCARs switch to fuel injection, the Associated Press reported Thursday.
NASCAR has fined drivers the last two years for comments that it believes hurts the credibility of the sport. It hasnt announced the fines, but drivers have confirmed they were fined.
Keselowski declined to comment on the accuracy of the report, and neither NASCAR nor Penske officials immediately responded to requests for comment on whether Keselowski was fined.
Keselowski called NASCARs move to fuel injection next year a disaster and said that he doesnt see where the fans get anything from it when talking to the media last week following an appearance at the NASCAR Hall of Fame.
NASCAR is moving to fuel injection to be more like passenger cars and it is expected to be more fuel efficient than a carburetor system.
Were not doing this because its better for the sport or better for the teams I dont even really think were going to save any gas, Keselowski said last week. Its the media circus, trying to make you guys happy so you write good stories.
It gives [NASCAR] something to promote, absolutely. And were always looking for something to promote. But the honest answer is it does nothing for the sport other than to cost the team owners money."
