Brad Keselowski was clearly the class of the rookie field on Sunday, and would have done even better if it weren’t for the bad luck in the pits.
Since Earnhardt’s death, risk aversion has been the goal for NASCAR drivers, uncomfortable at times with the consequences of pushing a car to its ragged edge.

Brad Keselowski was the first across the finish line at Talladega earlier this year and seemed to immediately start grousing that he was ready to move up to the Cup level, and was ready to sell himself out to whomever would write the biggest check.
