Banking on his experience from 2009, running his own race operation with 2 full time Nationwide cars and at times 3 on the track at one time, Brian looked to the future, put his bad experiences behind him and put his foot to the ground with every intention of proving that he has what it takes to be competitive in NASCAR’s Nationwide series. With the year starting out locked into the top 30, Brian had the opportunity to set his team well into the owners points giving the # 26 Dodge the cushion he needed to lock into the race each weekend. With a solid 11th place finish, besting his younger brother Brad’s position of 13th place Brian was looking like he was headed for a season that would finally put him on the map and in the spotlight with fans and potential sponsors. Although engine problems in California ended the day with a disappointing 34th place, Brian was still maintaining the points that he needed to have when the first 5 races of the season are up. A 32nd at Las Vegas and a 39th at Bristol due to an accident put the # 26 in troubled waters with only one race left to be locked in on the 2009 owner’s points. Brian was sitting right at the bottom of the top 30 and needed to pull it together in order to maintain the team. Heading to Nashville, Brian had run the track several times and focused on keeping the car running solid, however a 24th place finish was just not enough to keep the team locked in for the 6th race of the season.<br />It was time to regroup and the K-Auto team had to pull rabbit out of the hat, having to qualify on speed going into Phoenix, a track where Brian’s results were lackluster at best qualifying 43rd in 2009 and finishing only 27th he knew that he had to pull out a miracle to keep the team in the show.<br />Somehow, Brian got his mojo back and qualified 23rd sitting in top 5 of the group of the 13 go or go homers that weekend. Taking pace and playing his strategy safe Brian focused on the long grueling race and tough narrow track of Phoenix, managing to land a solid 20th place amid crashes and problems with other teams bringing him back into the top 30 in owner’s points and locked into this weekends race at Texas Motor Speedway.<br />With a new engine and a refreshed attitude Brian wants to bank on his speedway experience, lay it out and start his climb back to the top group of racers in the series. Overshadowed by younger brother Brad who has been at the center of controversy this season, Brian is looking to set the record straight that the Keselowski name is about down home racing, determination and passion. Having to take matters into his own hands, without the benefit of multi million dollar sponsorships and engine development programs Brian is proving week after week that with time, patience and experience the # 26 Dodge and K-Automotive can and will be a top performing team for a long time to come.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5469352507822878028.post-81053860752403961162010-02-24T12:55:00.001-08:002010-02-24T12:57:28.477-08:00California Wrap UpSo we had a decent time at California, we got Dennis into the race without a problem, the 26 car ran alright but not the best finish that we wanted. The good focus is that we ran pretty solid, kept the car in the points range we needed and heading to Vegas we're not fixing up any wrecked cars! Feeling pretty good about heading to Vegas and should have a decent run there. The motors have been running strong we just need to get the suspension set up the right way.<br /><br />See you in Sin City!Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5469352507822878028.post-72771508332509480052010-02-04T05:51:00.000-08:002010-02-04T05:56:55.873-08:00Get ready for 2010OK everyone, so I know its been a long since an update here. Last season was a tough one for sure. Lots of ups and downs but the experience of the season gave the team the insight and the knowledge to move forward with 2010 in both the Nationwide Series and YES the Sprint Cup Series.<br />Thats right, the K Auto team is running some Spring Cup races in 2010. Starting out at Daytona with Mike Wallace behind the wheel we're going to show everyone that the small operations can be a threat and can run with the big dogs. Mike has a wealth of experience and with Brian running the show the team should have a really good showing at the opening race.<br />There have been a lot of changes over the off season, he biggest one being the move to North Carolina. Michigan is our home and our friends and family are there but it makes more sense right now to be where all the resources of the NASCAR racing industry are at. With a new shop, a new breath of fresh air we're looking to be at the front for 2010.<br />Look for regular weekly updates from Brian and the team here starting with Daytona!<br /><br />Heres to a successful 2010!Unknownnoreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5469352507822878028.post-683668142095534372009-10-12T11:30:00.001-07:002009-10-12T11:32:49.777-07:00Catching up with the gangSo were heading into the last stretch of the season. Not over by any means but were getting to the last part of the season. Updates have been a little slow here so sorry for that. We have some new pics that will be coming up soon and also some news on the 2010 season.<br /><br />Thanks to all the supporters for what they have done for Brian and the team this year.<br /><br />California was a tough one no doubt. Michael was doing great but got taken out, that is part of racing and although it is never fun it happens.<br /><br />Looking forward to next weekend and continuing the rest of the season strong.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5469352507822878028.post-46230717737841501852009-09-08T06:29:00.000-07:002009-09-08T06:31:38.485-07:00Atlanta<div><div><div>Here are a few shots from Atlanta from thehotap.com, I'll have more updates on the race and how it went down later this week.

Having never been on a road course Brian did his best to get the # 26 2XL/Fischer Honda car around the track without incident and he got out there for qualifying. Unfortunately mechanical problems took Brian out of the race early but Michael McDowell who was running 4th in practice in the # 96 Dodge had a decent qualifying run and during the race was as high as 4th place driving a car that was originally built for a speedway! Brakes were heating up but he held on tight, despite a last minute spinout that put him back to 28th position Michael took the K-Auto Dodge back up to 11th position within the last 20 laps.</div><br /><div>Congrats to the team for qulifying and running 2 cars at Montreal!</div><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhHCJYNOEcuDmW6b7tNOd2GZXMKZpcDwbNOhoiubFuMFatVKlmPJLlcPNi5IWPwXn3k-SO3rovMlXQzW1iicfiGCWVV4ud9k57NF_rrj-Ppz6VFZipD_4tV3rENke1r1riW3VHCBVJwmEk/s1600-h/Montreal.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5379088133183764002" style="WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 213px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhHCJYNOEcuDmW6b7tNOd2GZXMKZpcDwbNOhoiubFuMFatVKlmPJLlcPNi5IWPwXn3k-SO3rovMlXQzW1iicfiGCWVV4ud9k57NF_rrj-Ppz6VFZipD_4tV3rENke1r1riW3VHCBVJwmEk/s320/Montreal.jpg" border="0" /></a></div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5469352507822878028.post-15889041541631855332009-08-26T11:02:00.000-07:002009-08-26T11:14:23.308-07:00Fists of Fury<div align="center">So we got a new shirt just to head to Canada.</div><div align="center">Check it out</div><div align="center"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiNU6pW-QXAkrlc_BDjXgITjT03Moydx3t0AyYzktqy4smHXujaseJTJSocxS4CH4Let4QfZjsJe4JO2LACQvs2G8dcg-Ef1WB0Giag2f4wEQ6-E5lb8EKH23IGs0ABXZ9U3rxv7LwhzMA/s1600-h/Fists-of-Fury-K-Auto.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5374336519796831538" style="WIDTH: 247px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiNU6pW-QXAkrlc_BDjXgITjT03Moydx3t0AyYzktqy4smHXujaseJTJSocxS4CH4Let4QfZjsJe4JO2LACQvs2G8dcg-Ef1WB0Giag2f4wEQ6-E5lb8EKH23IGs0ABXZ9U3rxv7LwhzMA/s320/Fists-of-Fury-K-Auto.jpg" border="0" /></a></div><div align="center">The ones that the crew guys will wear does not have the signature on the front.</div><p align="center">So when we say they are limited I mean we are only going to produce 5 of these babys and they are first come first serve and will NEVER be printed again.</p><p align="center">The first 5 emails I get will be able to buy one.

Heading to Bristol we had high hopes of a top finish and Michael McDowell came through with a 10th place finish for the team. Brian once again serving as crew chief for his car had good experience going to Bristol and they knew what they had to do to get the car is a great qualifying position. After starting 19th Michael drove the car hard up to a 10th place finish.<br />Congrats to the crew once again for a strong finish.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5469352507822878028.post-23204434801483910782009-08-20T14:06:00.000-07:002009-08-20T14:08:33.757-07:00TwitterOK, so we're gonna try some Twitter action here.<br /><br />Our Twitter page is <a href="http://www.twitter.com/kautomotive">http://www.twitter.com/kautomotive</a><br /><br />We will only be Twittering or tweeting or twitterin' (however you want to say it) during race weekends or perhaps if someone happens to get trapped under the team hauler during the week.

Things have been going from crazy to crazier and now things are getting better every day!</div><div>Here is an update on what has been going on.</div><div></div><div>Going into Gateway it was some tough decisions for team owner, driver and mechanice Brian Keselowski. The car had been doing really well but the team needed to be in the top 30 in owners points. Brian was struggling to get everything done himself so he made the decision to put Michael McDowell into the car -<a href="http://www.mmcdowell.com/">http://www.mmcdowell.com/</a>. Brian had already talked with Michael about running the two road course races for the K-Automotive crew and the opportunity was there for Michael, who lost his ride due to sponsorship to jump into the 26 and continue his chase for a top 10 season standing.</div><br /><div>Michael jumped into the car with Brian at the helm of crew chief and the combination seemed to be explosive as Michael qualified the car in 9th position and finished in 8th place! A great day for the K-Auto crew.

The team has been busy as ever as we headed into the last few races. After Kentucky Brian and the crew went down to pick up 2 new cars and got to work on them to get ready for New Hampshire.....but first on to Milwaukee where they had a pretty decent run going and finished just outside the top 30.<br />From there the team went to New Hampshire where the new car was up and running however the old saying "thats racing" came into play when the motor overheated despite one of the strongest qualifying runs Brian has had all season.<br />Brian and the crew headed down to Daytona after an exhausting week on the road going from race shop to race shop, everyone was pulling out all the stops possible to keep things going and Brian barely missed the qualifying for Daytona race last weekend.<br />The team is staying positive and heading to Chicago this weekend with both the 26 and the 96 car the team is looking to bounce back and get the momentum from the beginning of the season going again.<br />Thanks again for all the fan support and we'll see you in Chicago!Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5469352507822878028.post-66479712235037175322009-06-16T13:05:00.000-07:002009-06-16T13:25:52.206-07:00Kentucky Notes and NewsKentucky here we come........and here we go!<br /><div><div><div>Well it was a great weekend as far as the weather goes, what was thought to be a weekend of thunderstorms and rain turned out to be pretty nice. Unfortunately that is where the nice ended. Racing is racing but the team stayed focused and strong throughout the weekend. Brian was running really well in practice and the car was doing great. In the second practice session however Brian cut a tire somewhere on the track and going into turn 3 at 180mph the car spun around and hit the wall HARD! Brian was uninjured but the car was unable to be repaired. Forutnately for us we have good friends in the garage and the 81 team of McDonald Motorsports let Brian use their backup car for the race. The team busted their tails to get the car prepped and ready within time for inspection and qualifying but we did it. The group really showed team work and pulled together to get the job one.</div><div>Since Brian was locked into the race on owners points he took it easy on the qualifying run since it was not his car and started the race in the 41st position.</div><div>As the green flag dropped Brian did his best to race a car with a seat that just barely fit and a car that he had never driven before. Hanging on he drove his best but unfortunately without being able to inspect the car properly there were some brake problems that forced him to retire early. Sitting in the 35th position was where he would have to settle for the race.</div><div>A big thanks to all those who helped this weekend. We'll see everyone in Milwaukee!</div><div> </div><div> </div><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgdRwgjyVijHNAA3AE7NmKq0QkOKjbTwBdVbrFNWOtHyyjMCwSyTQ6DBOpk0nyNU7ASeKQQjUXjVZioUkrEOIR5-UHqandO6xSnQscDgdPUP5RIDUigy4LuQKA6ym2V8iI5XiXmCh5_Jdc/s1600-h/DSC02574.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5348023800827490402" style="WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgdRwgjyVijHNAA3AE7NmKq0QkOKjbTwBdVbrFNWOtHyyjMCwSyTQ6DBOpk0nyNU7ASeKQQjUXjVZioUkrEOIR5-UHqandO6xSnQscDgdPUP5RIDUigy4LuQKA6ym2V8iI5XiXmCh5_Jdc/s320/DSC02574.JPG" border="0" /></a></div><div>The crew getting ready for the start.</div><div><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgYI3Pnrrpu5kdibhCRQIMyNtaBWvp4TdNFk34OJBWsos5_sW6t5BinwRqcqnijr6BRf9WiuSe7eZyAlSZCVNacIlTuhVRKkVBnYXt9NRb5uiRzCUSedoTdkFePUqR264j6DI9QtL2AqLM/s1600-h/DSC02573.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5348023793117503090" style="WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgYI3Pnrrpu5kdibhCRQIMyNtaBWvp4TdNFk34OJBWsos5_sW6t5BinwRqcqnijr6BRf9WiuSe7eZyAlSZCVNacIlTuhVRKkVBnYXt9NRb5uiRzCUSedoTdkFePUqR264j6DI9QtL2AqLM/s320/DSC02573.JPG" border="0" /></a></div><div>Taking the new car out for the lineup.</div><div> </div><div><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgw7x_1ZgKdK42dKaQ1-9JgjfuMFj7vEIrdeBHUC-BF4qM_UNn8iaOukbwCLzS7Vku0RMAAR11HMhr-7r-RdlHNhgYKyOyPAGIzCdcQthWPd-ittL6978QH6fGBxSvEKZ-GFlsamsLKCV4/s1600-h/DSC02559.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5348023789810457202" style="WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgw7x_1ZgKdK42dKaQ1-9JgjfuMFj7vEIrdeBHUC-BF4qM_UNn8iaOukbwCLzS7Vku0RMAAR11HMhr-7r-RdlHNhgYKyOyPAGIzCdcQthWPd-ittL6978QH6fGBxSvEKZ-GFlsamsLKCV4/s320/DSC02559.JPG" border="0" /></a></div><div>NASCAR officials look on as the team preps the new race car.</div><div> </div><div> </div><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgKz9017fU-Cs_y5ezLQzsuakxKs0CPzqebGVw-bYccH2dRXqdZLV-hfwG6ipOfA9EXNgkIo37lRQIZtXQZwkobVNDsfEGGheQuEny4ymfLWD48QPZhMsdErs-bTbOL5ZMr9rP2ANM203s/s1600-h/DSC02564.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5348023798723827506" style="WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgKz9017fU-Cs_y5ezLQzsuakxKs0CPzqebGVw-bYccH2dRXqdZLV-hfwG6ipOfA9EXNgkIo37lRQIZtXQZwkobVNDsfEGGheQuEny4ymfLWD48QPZhMsdErs-bTbOL5ZMr9rP2ANM203s/s320/DSC02564.JPG" border="0" /></a></div><div>The 2XL Vendor trailer on site at Kentucky!</div></div></div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5469352507822878028.post-79751766013699925382009-06-09T09:25:00.000-07:002009-06-09T09:30:26.694-07:00The Shirts are Here!OK everyone the official Brian Keselowski shirts are in and ready to ship out!

Well this time unfortunately the track got the best of Brian and due to a mechanical failure the car shot straight to the wall and tore up the right side pretty good. Luckily Brian was unharmed but the Go Wings Dodge was unable to get back on the track. This happened around lap 145 or so, with only 7 or 8 cars on the lead lap Brian was setting up to get a pretty solid position in the top 20 or even top 15 with all the wrecks that were going on. Fortunately since he ran a strong race, as high as 11th I think, he was able to finish the race in 30th position which was enough to keep the car locked in the owners points and advance Brian another spot to sit in the 22nd position in the drivers points.<br />Luckily also the car was not the one that Brian is racing this coming weekend at Kentucky so we have some time to get it fixed.<br />Keep on Truckin' and at least on the good side the Wings shut out the Penguins 5-0 to take the series lead at 3-2. Go Wings!!!<br /><br />The Red Wings Dodge ready for action.<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhM8HD-BPlXshRKuPIUip0Gze0EETf_SwVj0on8dM8GO2L2oPy_vY94iTHlSrzshFARMPIbtaxWfJ5TzbBt5L1w0D_y0pg8OxAZfX2oQBkzCEELcxGFdvvKCRjwbNK_nD7YOR3hHly7O9k/s1600-h/DSC02542.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5344705723694048290" style="WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhM8HD-BPlXshRKuPIUip0Gze0EETf_SwVj0on8dM8GO2L2oPy_vY94iTHlSrzshFARMPIbtaxWfJ5TzbBt5L1w0D_y0pg8OxAZfX2oQBkzCEELcxGFdvvKCRjwbNK_nD7YOR3hHly7O9k/s320/DSC02542.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><br />Inside the Garage<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgTVVUU8u-m-CuFiOgOVXpgFk2RuJSbqX7l97oZdKBcVeqmrMUeynKzMbeewit28IdJxKCmW-AUApEeko-S4UWgB3IbNeDtpVl9BekzXcfcJyEkoQNKcvLZ0jz_N4MsHa2MFsE9APdH7Aw/s1600-h/DSC02519.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5344705708420574146" style="WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgTVVUU8u-m-CuFiOgOVXpgFk2RuJSbqX7l97oZdKBcVeqmrMUeynKzMbeewit28IdJxKCmW-AUApEeko-S4UWgB3IbNeDtpVl9BekzXcfcJyEkoQNKcvLZ0jz_N4MsHa2MFsE9APdH7Aw/s320/DSC02519.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><br />Nate gets the hubs ready for the pit stops.<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhht6e0HV7PALAhasoJZ0CjG7Rt2r68BFJBoxIYu5NVDqGFuKwdARQThnzvWENcMx_LTnVP03bp2ck5QZaSMgXEhsmpC9xsvuiMQS98ggLyinGNsnegX96Sj2AtdONTxWlKe8zffbYeLuQ/s1600-h/DSC02524.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5344705714542924338" style="WIDTH: 240px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhht6e0HV7PALAhasoJZ0CjG7Rt2r68BFJBoxIYu5NVDqGFuKwdARQThnzvWENcMx_LTnVP03bp2ck5QZaSMgXEhsmpC9xsvuiMQS98ggLyinGNsnegX96Sj2AtdONTxWlKe8zffbYeLuQ/s320/DSC02524.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><br />Nice Lookin Helmet!<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEid1eoin0QtzeKfrK93qRZaYWtN5vmHLZDUxty9Ylu8HBb1fvFDP6asliY8xaxqcmVhpj7jdRpFKeEX0ZNHYqlROhy1j5nnMCL3rof83dSDW60NfX4v-uO3eeKu2A5obwzyJM3Ga9e6gwo/s1600-h/DSC02537.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5344705716664602818" style="WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEid1eoin0QtzeKfrK93qRZaYWtN5vmHLZDUxty9Ylu8HBb1fvFDP6asliY8xaxqcmVhpj7jdRpFKeEX0ZNHYqlROhy1j5nnMCL3rof83dSDW60NfX4v-uO3eeKu2A5obwzyJM3Ga9e6gwo/s320/DSC02537.JPG" border="0" /></a>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5469352507822878028.post-579401186054176562009-06-03T08:31:00.000-07:002009-06-03T08:34:56.731-07:00Hockeytown Game 2<div>As a gesture to Brian for his support of the Detroit Red Wings Brian was invited to game 2 of the Stanley Cup Finals in Detroit on Sunday.

On his first attempt at the Monster Mile Brian qualified way down in the pack at 39th position and once again proved why we call him the bull by working his way up that pack, staying on the lead lap and finishing with a strong 16th place besting some of the top drivers in the series even beating KYLE BUSCH..........ok so Kyle was winning the race on the green white checker and cut a tire but still it looks good on paper right!<br />Everyone needs to give Brian a big props so far this year for doing the job he is doing. Dover is a tough track, all cement and it worked over some pretty good racers this past weekend but Brian stayed strong and kept it going.<br />Also sporting the Red Wings graphics helped I think!<br />As the Wings were unfortunately taken down by the Penguins last night they will go to game 5 on Saturday which means Brian for ONE MORE TIME will be sporting the Wings graphics on his car to show the dedication to the Wings!<br />Look for the car at Nashville this weekend, Go Brian and Go Wings!Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5469352507822878028.post-16734811574072423602009-05-28T07:37:00.000-07:002009-05-28T07:40:21.640-07:00Heading to DoverThe Monster Mile! <div><div><div>Once again since the Wings are now in the Finals Brian will give his favorite team another shot of fan appreciation with his version of the practice jersey.</div><div>Check it out as is was getting ready to leave the shop.<br /></div><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhXwXm-E_lzUzibH6A-nL4x-TfuHYEnaV1mqPoGjKLre6_hJB9EnFSApavgcMuzHntE5fIOTB27tAhqyWucJyipbIU10s4RUvM2Zeb7PvHEiFDdVvyDuSMrbtR3SAqFTGkiuFEaG2dNP0k/s1600-h/DSC01464.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5340884539833224802" style="WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhXwXm-E_lzUzibH6A-nL4x-TfuHYEnaV1mqPoGjKLre6_hJB9EnFSApavgcMuzHntE5fIOTB27tAhqyWucJyipbIU10s4RUvM2Zeb7PvHEiFDdVvyDuSMrbtR3SAqFTGkiuFEaG2dNP0k/s320/DSC01464.JPG" border="0" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi08ul0kC0Chw1yA6woZkFCWJccOjwaBJMkl5Us_7a-KMEtF3fS2X2KvcWAx6vbqWzTFQgTeDl4h3FkyvCQZExndcB7i6npKQmLZVJ0mOzdOXh7Yuk2vO54l9TNjchpJhaOpMT2l-ZLLFM/s1600-h/DSC01461.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5340884530987577874" style="WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi08ul0kC0Chw1yA6woZkFCWJccOjwaBJMkl5Us_7a-KMEtF3fS2X2KvcWAx6vbqWzTFQgTeDl4h3FkyvCQZExndcB7i6npKQmLZVJ0mOzdOXh7Yuk2vO54l9TNjchpJhaOpMT2l-ZLLFM/s320/DSC01461.JPG" border="0" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhuTu3d7oyHvJCHBEFvIrcnci7cIqa2rtxgxcuGPqGcxs3Dlt88TEiCu0pD3ckvK4cO5s7LHLLJWLBcgdGUB3N4sMXCw1U7NhnDAZg0ra9-MRevmiCWaVB2DPFmMUJveTXheGYITMo34xE/s1600-h/DSC01463.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5340884536887788530" style="WIDTH: 240px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhuTu3d7oyHvJCHBEFvIrcnci7cIqa2rtxgxcuGPqGcxs3Dlt88TEiCu0pD3ckvK4cO5s7LHLLJWLBcgdGUB3N4sMXCw1U7NhnDAZg0ra9-MRevmiCWaVB2DPFmMUJveTXheGYITMo34xE/s320/DSC01463.JPG" border="0" /></a></div></div></div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5469352507822878028.post-25466369647248076272009-05-26T06:09:00.000-07:002009-05-28T07:37:11.782-07:00Detroit Car Pics from LowesHere they are!

Read Below:<br /><p class="western">Official Release from K-Automotive</p> <p class="western">May 21, 2009</p> <p class="western">Today K-Automotive is officially releasing the images of the limited graphic car for the Lowes Motor Speedway race the weekend in Charlotte NC.</p> <p class="western">Through a joint effort by the Detroit Red Wings Brian will be running Detroit Red Wings and Hockeytown Graphics at Lowes Motor Speedway this weekend</p> <p class="western">K-Automotive, with its operations based in Pinckney Mi and having strong Motor City roots decided to show its Detroit Red Wing pride with the Red Wings jersey inspired graphic scheme.Brian Keselowski is a huge Red Wings fan and he could think of no better way to show his support than by running the graphics as Detroit takes on Chicago in the Western Conference finals. Making the graphics a bit more interesting is the fact that Brian is heading into Carolina Hurricane territory, knowing very well that if Carolina beats Pittsburg and Detroit off’s Chicago they will face each other in the Finals. When asked if it bothered him going into Hurricane territory with a Red Wings car he responded simply “Go Wings!”</p><p class="western">Look for a lot of post race press on the Official Red Wings site soon as well as some more pics of the car.<br /></p><p class="western"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEge1MWdRJ5S-2E4B8mOZSfV0Ja8olC-B3v9hiqiz7r0mJgelXUMPkdHlX4KVtpKF_YN1GuvLKhS7IN7Q8o4ZN2V8ghZ9vS_2g-NUqSr4ElkfqedTi3Qb-_o9mAwI69dA0jrSSdSg1CRK_0/s1600-h/DSC02488.JPG"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEge1MWdRJ5S-2E4B8mOZSfV0Ja8olC-B3v9hiqiz7r0mJgelXUMPkdHlX4KVtpKF_YN1GuvLKhS7IN7Q8o4ZN2V8ghZ9vS_2g-NUqSr4ElkfqedTi3Qb-_o9mAwI69dA0jrSSdSg1CRK_0/s200/DSC02488.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5338372126301471394" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgMBetqdJbvJ5n2v94Py8G-_KFKjqlGGVq4NXRrmozh0igtqknqrvLM4yo52mUDys1NQT1zCPixOsDTvOOIiLKS8YsSSsY0yl-68K-uhLxL26IwG3fyy3beXM26Cjlm1P5stTvB2TZoGPw/s1600-h/DSC02490.JPG"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgMBetqdJbvJ5n2v94Py8G-_KFKjqlGGVq4NXRrmozh0igtqknqrvLM4yo52mUDys1NQT1zCPixOsDTvOOIiLKS8YsSSsY0yl-68K-uhLxL26IwG3fyy3beXM26Cjlm1P5stTvB2TZoGPw/s200/DSC02490.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5338372131139032274" border="0" /></a></p>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5469352507822878028.post-86656263706732022992009-05-20T08:08:00.001-07:002009-05-20T08:09:47.313-07:00Article on NASCAR.comHere is a great shout out to Brian on NASCAR.com this week.

All I can say so far is "Hey Hey Hockeytown!"<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjtJh-KrLJDqoWrSs94IJurp6Nt2Lwlx79mhJeIE8_ISMSjKwqhlXfcfrLup88GJbHTswvcZYy6VZzpztLKDogtyMFVLt6uFpykLSh5QkPfV3DTyp36rEAXgVwpHSNkwi0UGJj07nVhB04/s1600-h/DSC02501.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5337912731519838002" style="WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 150px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjtJh-KrLJDqoWrSs94IJurp6Nt2Lwlx79mhJeIE8_ISMSjKwqhlXfcfrLup88GJbHTswvcZYy6VZzpztLKDogtyMFVLt6uFpykLSh5QkPfV3DTyp36rEAXgVwpHSNkwi0UGJj07nVhB04/s200/DSC02501.JPG" border="0" /></a>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5469352507822878028.post-50239900879774606082009-05-20T07:15:00.000-07:002009-05-20T07:24:18.857-07:00Oops TalladegaSo as I walked into the shop the other day I was harrassed by the crew for not putting up an update on the Talladege race. I corrected them and said there is NO WAY that I would have missed that update since it was the best race for Brian this year. They must be wrong right? Quickly I pulled up the site on my Blackberry(R) and........oops! How in the world I forgot to update on one of Brians greatest races so far. Was I just to excited or to busy getting ready for the next race!!!<br />So here is the official "late" update on the Talladega race.<br /><br />Brian ran with the front runners pretty much the entire race, super strong and ran like a true top ten finisher. As we all know the last corner in the race on the last lap is a tricky one and with Brian running 9th coming around the last turn the drafting race began. When the flag was waived Brian ended up 14th after starting 17th and got hs bonus points for leading a lap!<br />There were some crazy wrecks and Brian stayed clean the entire race so great job Brian even though we were a little late here getting this out.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.thehotlap.com/modules.php?name=BGNPhotos&op=photo&id=22370">http://www.thehotlap.com/modules.php?name=BGNPhotos&op=photo&id=22370</a>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0
