Nearly time to saddle up, but with who?
Stock Car Racing History
I know better than to add to this post --BUT-- I think I see something here that is being missed. First off is Brad,he came out of that area they call motor city. There is a ton of knowledge in that area on cars in general,but racing them???,you better move on down to the southeast. Brad came south to further his knowledge in going round in circles And he done pretty good at learning--I also think his dad had a lot to do with that.
Next enter the Penske side of the circle, Roger isnt no Roger come lately by no long shot. Now you in the right book but one more chapter needs entering here.
Dodge or Chrysler,which ever you call it came back in racing after a pretty long vacation and starting over is one thing. Starting over and getting to the level that Roger Penske has his cars is no doubt awsome to say the least. Then he has Bad boy Kurt in the seat and that seemed a long shot on a good day.
After he vacated the seat Brad climbed in and the climb up the ladder to stardome seemed relatively easy .. Think of this too, Brad doesnt bust his equipt up. At the end of most his races he looks as though he ran out front all day--And lately he has been out there. And he doesnt beat the bumper off that Dodge on others. But he can get in your head on the track by the way he drives you, deep and hard into a corner and coming out he is there in the mirror big time.
The car Brad is driving kinda looks like a Ford or Chevy with a little Toyota thrown in. But its different too by that powerplant that is unique to the others. It I S a Dodge motor,you know like what King Richard won so many races with. Why even The Legend had a dang fast Plymouth under him back in the day. I know because I had a time getting around him in several occasions and some occasions I didnt succeed .
So there you have my take on the Miller special and its pilot. I pulled for Brad after maybe his second race and caught flack on several discussions on R/R over him. But I stood my grounds because he was taught at an early age on how to drive and protect his eq. Bet he could build a motor at an early age.. His dad was there then molding and educating him into what he is today. Cocky? you bet he is off the track but he knows his manners when need be.
Now if he doesnt win the championship Sun it will be because some OTHER driver takes him out in such a way as he cant continue. Brad is a Drivers driver and that Dodge is there to win --SURE HOPE DODGE WATCHES THIS and has second thoughts.. A phone call is all it takes.. See yall in turn 4
