The funny thing about this blog is that when I first thought of writing it, I didn’t think we were going to be coming off two straight wins. I think it’s important to acknowledge that. My plan originally was just to take stock of where we were at this point of the season. So here [...]
An incredible opportunity popped up for me recently, and I’d like to share it with you. There was an IndyCar test at Road America a couple weeks back, and Team Penske president Tim Cindric told me that they were looking for someone to drive a car. I’m a NASCAR driver and have no intention of [...]
We recently completed work on the new shop for my racing team, Brad Keselowski Racing. I’m extremely proud of the facility—it’s got state-of-the-art everything—and I want to tell you about some of the things that make it unique. But the real reason the shop means so much to me is the story behind it. It’s [...]
With the Oscars coming up this weekend, I thought it would be good to reflect back on my favorite (and not so favorite) racing movies of all time. There have been a bunch, but not that many good ones. So here they are: My best, my worst, and the ones that have made me laugh [...]
I can watch video of the 2011 Daytona Gatorade Duel forever. My brother, Brian, and I raced together that day, one of the few times we’ve ever raced together. Brian was in a low budget, underfunded car — the No. 92 — and I was running in the Deuce. Before the race started, we talked [...]
At the end of last weekend’s race at New Hampshire, I was black flagged for jumping a restart, and the penalty cost me a shot at a win. Since then, a lot of people have asked me why I wasn’t angrier after the race, and the last thing I want people to think is that [...]
This past weekend at Darlington was a tremendous success. It was perhaps one of the most popular events of the season, and not only for the retro theme of the race, or nostalgia or the track itself. With a new rules package, the quality of the racing was fantastic — so great, in fact, that [...]
It’s a well known fact that nearly all Sprint Cup drivers use private planes to travel between races, and it’s something that tends to catch the attention of fans and the media from time to time, usually in a negative way. I understand why. Years ago, if someone had told me they were flying places [...]
When I took the checkered flag in the Kentucky 300 back on July 10th, it was my first win since my daughter, Scarlett, was born. So many emotions go through your head when you win, but Victory Lane itself can often be very anticlimactic. You want to take the time to soak in everything that [...]
If you've ever watched the movie “Days of Thunder,” there's a part where Cole Trickle (Tom Cruise) looks over at his crew chief, Harry Hogge (Robert Duvall), and says he wants to be a stock car driver. When you race at Indy, he explains, all the cars aren't the same. If you don't have a [...]
