Official Release from K-Automotive

May 21, 2009

Today K-Automotive is officially releasing the images of the limited graphic car for the Lowes Motor Speedway race the weekend in Charlotte NC.

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

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!”

Look for a lot of post race press on the Official Red Wings site soon as well as some more pics of the car.

Sneak Peak for Lowes Motor Speedway

I'm going to keep a little quiet on this one so we can make sure the real deal stays under wraps but this weekend the K-Automotive team is heading into enemy territory!!!!

Heading to Carolina, home of the Hurricanes Brian will be running a special graphic scheme this weeknd to get the crowd into a fury. All I can say so far is "Hey Hey Hockeytown!"

Oops Talladega

So 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!!!
So here is the official "late" update on the Talladega race.

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!
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.

Darlington Round Up

Wow what a trip.

First I want to thank Jeff Hurst and the crew from Hurst Boiler for helping out with the team this weekend. Probably one of the best group of people I have met in a long time and I hope we see them in Atlanta! If you need industrial Boiler work go check them out.

So we had a bet going with Brian that if he came out of Darlington without hitting the right side of the car he wasn't racing hard enough. Well the car is pretty clean except for some bumps from the usual racers who can't keep their car smooth but we have to hand it to Brian for a strong 24th place on his rookie start at the famed "to tough to tame" Darlington Raceway. A track that saw a lot of crashed in qualifying (Jimmie Johnson) and practice.

Hats off to you Brian! We get a much deserved weekend off but then it's off to Lowes Motor Speedway and it's a big run of over 15 weeks of non stop weekends of racing. Get the suitcase packed and ready to go!

See you at the Track!

Richmond Results

After our first race as a locked in car for the season, we had a much lower qualifying car than before but the result was a stronger race car for the long haul.
Qualifying in the 38th positon, Brian advanced 17 positions and finished 21st moving him up 2 more positions in the standings to 25th and moving the car up to 29th in the owners points. Heading to Darlington Raceway this weekend for another Friday night race, the team is looking pretty strong and confident that they'll be able to put a great race car together and have another solid consistent finish that will keep Brian and the car moving up in the standings.
The 2XL trailer was in full support this weekend as well with a display at the Baja MX Loretta Lynn Qualifier in Millville MI. Moto fans came out and checked out the NASCAR support trailer, watched videos and got the hook up on all the new 2XL gear. Keep updated here for the 2XL Trailer tour schedule coming to a town near you soon!

See you all in Darlington.
