Another One Bites The Dust – a pretty great song from the band Queen to lift one’s spirits, isn’t it? Surely it is what NASCAR driver Brad Keselowski has lately been listening to, perhaps turning this song into his motto this season, which is fine.

The only problem is, many of Keselowski’s peers seem to be on the wrong side of this assumed motto.

From Daytona 500, to more recently Las Vegas, Brad Keselowski has, in one way or the other, directly or indirectly, intentionally or unintentionally, wrecked several drivers.

In Las Vegas, though, it was pretty unintentional as his No.6 spun out of control and collected his former teammate Ryan Blaney. Although the whole situation was unlike Daytona, a race where Keselowski plowed through the field, it didn’t stop Blaney from ranting out of anger and frustration on his former teammate.

As heard on NASCAR’s Radioactive for the race in Las Vegas, Blaney said, “******* moron! *****! It’s ******* killed!”

While Keselowski can be heard apologizing (to his team), “Sorry about that, guys.”

Dale Jr. claims his new role motivated Brad Keselowski

In one of the more recent episodes of his podcast, Dale Earnhardt Jr claimed the reason behind Brad Keselowski’s wreck-less driving in Daytona could be narrowed down to him being ‘extra motivated’ to do well in his new role.

Keselowski left Team Penske last season to become a driver-owner in Roush Fenway Racing, now renamed as Roush Fenway Keselowski Racing.

Brad just kept on racing the same way. If you know Brad [Keselowski], that’s not a big surprise, cause he’s out there for Brad. Especially with his new deal, he’s out there to prove he made the right choice,” Dale Jr. said.

He’s definitely racing, maybe he’s racing with a chip on his shoulder. Out there, trying to show everybody, he’s going to turn Roush back into the program it used to be.”
