Kesselowski Fined
General
We agree to disagree. Brad owns a truck series team, so I think he knows a little bit about the costversus the benefit in this change. Again- this was NOT a press conference where he threw the sport under the bus. This was a question posed to him by a fan at the Nascar Hall of Fame. Different rules apply- Brad was there by choice.
I'll also give you another example of a criticism that happened many years ago. And Sandeep, I know you're a Bill Elliott fan like me. If you remember in his autobiography, he told about the drivers meeting where Nascar started tossing out all these new rules, to which Bobby Allison replied at the end of each one..."depending on who you are." Another example of this was when Nascar changed the format of The Winston in 1987 fromone segment to three. Bobby Allison was publicly quoted: "The format stinks. What part? The format."
Bottom line is that MUCH worse has been said about Nascar by drivers that have done 50 times more in the sport than Brad Keselowski in the past, and they never once were fined. This is yet another onein a long line of mismanagement of the sportby Brian France as far as I am concerned. And people can sit and justify how much "better" the sport is now versus the "good old days" all they'd like. The proof in who is right and who is wrong is all those empty seats you see on your television every Sunday.
