JR Motorsports' Brad Keselowski finished fifth in the NASCAR Nationwide Able Body Labor 200 at Phoenix International Raceway.

AVONDALE, Ariz. – A day after tangling with Joe Gibbs Racing’s Denny Hamlin during the Nationwide Series race, JR Motorsports’ Brad Keselowski met with NASCAR Chairman Brian France, NASCAR President Mike Helton and NASCAR Vice President of Competition Robin Pemberton in the NASCAR hauler at Phoenix International Raceway.
Keselowski, who is in his second race as the new Sprint Cup driver for Penske Racing, was in the hauler for about 20 minutes.
“The biggest message was – because I don’t want you guys to speculate on [it] – was just trying to pick and choose who you want to be your friends and enemies in the sport and making sure that I understood that process, what it takes to make it at this level and how you’re going to need friends down the line and make sure that you don’t alienate everybody but at the same time to not give up on being a hard charger,” Keselowski said prior to the drivers meeting for the Checker O’Reilly Auto Parts 500. “I think that was the basic tone of the conversation, of just trying to figure out what it takes to be successful at this level. I certainly don’t feel like I have all the answers but I’m doing the best I can and will welcome any of the advice I can get.”
Hamlin and Keselowski have had contact with each other in three of the last seven Nationwide Series races. On Saturday, Hamlin nudged Keselowski to take a position and then Keselowski twice tapped Hamlin, who spun.
Keselowski also ruffled feathers when he won at Memphis last month for having contact with other drivers.
“You’re always changing your style, you’re always progressing as a driver,” Keselowski said. “Do I need to do things better? Yeah all the time. Is that specific to being aggressive? Sometimes, sometimes not. Being aggressive is what got me here. Nobody has handed me anything in my career. I’ve dug and clawed for everything I’ve got and the only way to do that is by being aggressive.
“So that’s not to say I need to be aggressive every race. No. There’s races where you need to play it cool and be smart. So it’s just trying to learn that timing and learning who you need to be your friends and who you can accept as being your enemies no matter what you do.”
One of those enemies is Hamlin, who called Keselowski a moron after the race and said that he does not have the respect in the Cup garage.
“I don’t really want to engage that,” said Keselowski about Hamlin’s comments. “I’m quite satisfied with my own role in the sport as it is with the other drivers. So I don’t feel the need to engage that situation.”
Keselowski joked that he had a “ham sandwich” with Helton and France.
“It went real well,” Keselowski said. “That’s probably been the most impressed I’ve ever been with NASCAR, I honestly will say that. I’m not brainwashed in saying that, either. I really respect the fact that Brian France walked in there. That meant a lot to me. It’s really the first time I’ve ever had a conversation with him.”
Pemberton wouldn’t detail specifics about the conversation.
“We just talked about things in general,” Pemberton said. “We respect the fact that these guys race hard, and they need to race hard and they’re going to continue to race hard. But to have someone have a potential DNF out of being too aggressive is what we don’t need. Basically, that’s it.”
Pemberton said the Hamlin-Keselowski contact went both ways but “one went a little too far.”
“Their give-and-take margins are less,” Pemberton said. “We see that as the younger crowd gets in here, and it happened 10 years ago, 15 years ago, 20 years ago. These guys run harder earlier in the race, their tolerance in each other is less, the margins they give each other is less. … They need to continue to race hard, but accidents will happen enough on their own.”

To imply he didn't have massive advantages is offensive to every driver who did start at the very bottom. The Busch brothers come to mind, even though I'm not fans of theirs, they did it on talent and perseverence. Pull your head out Krash.

Brad is a nobody strivin to keep his family lineage goin strong and has a long way to gain the respect to put someone in a wall or spin someone without retribution. Or they could all do like M. Martin did years ago and let Harvick win the 500 cause they are afraid to make a lil smoke. Either way racin is racin and its what it is for what they choose to do

I don't care what anybody says those guys raced and would put a race today at Daytona to shame. Those guys raced every lap, not run around single file for 450 laps of 500. If these new guys wanna race the last 50 laps, charge Saturday Nite fees ($15.00)for 50 lap mains and pay a purse according to the crowd...THEN WATCH THESE PRIMA DONNAS RACE.

Nov 15, 2009 at 10:19 PMI agree, Denny has a different attitude since Kyle went with JGR. I was a fan until this year and he has been around Kyle to much and has developed the attitude he is the only person who matters. It is fine when he wrecks someone but a cry baby when the favor is returned. Joey is a lot younger than Kyle or Denny but a lot more mature. He is a better driver and sure has a lot more class.

Remember...he won't be driving for HMS anymore after next Saturday, so you don't have to automatically pull for him anymore LOL I can't wait for the day when he puts Jr in the wall, it will happen, just you wait and see.

Nov 16, 2009 at 3:51 PMKBFANINGA, At the top of the article it says. "JUNIOR MOTORSPORTS" Brad Keselowski........ But you are right because usually on any article someone will be sure to bring Dale, JR. and Kyle Busch in when it has really nothing to do with them. I just don't understand why you will be glad if he puts Jr. in the wall. Dale, JR. doesn't drive aggressively like Brad does and he has talked to Brad about this before. I don't understand you not being able to wait for Brad to put Jr. in the wall. Moving someone over and spinning them out or putting them in the wall are all different things. I like a little aggressive driving, just not spinning them out or putting them in the wall. Jimmy Spencer used to wreck people all the time on purpose so he definitely talks out of both sides of his mouth. Denny has wrecked other drivers as well. He got into two drivers the weekend that his Grandmother died, but nothing was said because it was an emotional win for Denny. Heck I even cried because my heart went out to Denny and his family. When the Kyle Busch and Tony Stewart incident happened, I was very concerned for Kyle. But you can't wait until Brad puts Jr. into the wall? Well maybe you will get what you want!!! It happened to Sr. and he didn't survive it but maybe Jr. will!

Like someone said the Cup drivers come over to the Nationwide side and expect the Nationwide drivers to move over, I don't think Brad or any of the other Nationwide drivers should move over, they should stand their ground. Jimmy Spencer is just a blow hard, look what he said about Jr. when Jr. won the race in July after Dale,Sr. was killed, Spencer has always been a wannabe and is nothing when it came to driving, all he can do is run his mouth.

Nov 17, 2009 at 10:39 PMI think NASCAR needs to leave them alone and let them get at each other. This could be the rivalry NASCAR needs to get the ratings back up. Brian France needs to remember that this is a big part of why NASCAR became so successful and quit trying to stop every rival before it gets good. Just look at history.

Nov 18, 2009 at 12:36 PMI would just like to talk about what I saw last saturday. Carl Edwards was warned about his brake-checking the field on his restarts. I understand this is a racing maneuver that has been a part of racing for a long time. That said, he was warned not to do it again...but he did it on the proceeding restart where kesselowski was bumped from behind by Hamlin. Hamlin tried to take advantage of the position Kesselowski was in due to Carl's brake-check, and the rest is history. I was just a little frustrated that Carl was not mentioned by nascar or the announcers as the initial instigator of what happened. Brad, doing a natoriously poor job on restarts, wanted to be on the ball and try and take the lead from carl...carl checked him and he had to come off gas. Denny took advantage and tried to push him out of the way. Brad got upset, and I'm behind Brad's actions all the way. If you let them take advantage once, they will surely do it again. Settle it at the scene and make it known that you're not one to mess with. I'm just waiting for Denny to do something and get a fistful. Which I believe will come if he doesn't stop acting holier than thou.

Nov 18, 2009 at 11:39 PMI was so thankful Nascar sat Brad down and explained things to him. He is going to be in for a heck of a year next year if he keeps up his attitude and wrecking everyone just to win. Feel for Kurt having to be a teammate with him. Still hope someone dumps him at Homestead at the beginning of the race and he has to sit out.
