Calculated Brad Keselowski is still frustrated with Carson Hocevar
It was always very unlikely that Brad Keselowski was going to walk into his press conference on Saturday at World Wide Technology Raceway and remain adamant that there would be retaliation on Carson Hocevar. He didn’t quite go that far but he is still clearly very miffed. Keselowski’s RFK No. 6 crashed off the nose of Hocevar’s Spire No. 77 on Lap 107 of the Southern 500 last Sunday ... Keep…
Brad Keselowski remained agitated after his press conference at World Wide Technology Raceway, where he hinted at retaliation against Carson Hocevar. Keselowski's No. 6 vehicle collided with Hocevar's No. 77 on Lap 107 of the Southern 500 last Sunday. The 2012 Cup Series champion expressed his frustration, telling Above the Yellow Line Media, "His day's coming and it's coming hard.
Watch out, Carson." Keselowski reflected on the incident, acknowledging the challenges of the race weekend and his commitment to the team. He emphasized that he was not signaling a specific response to Hocevar but was still upset and felt taken advantage of. He stated, "I don't think that's really possible" when asked if a conversation could have been had after the race.
When questioned about the potential for a group intervention, Keselowski responded that the current climate in sports differs from the past, and ultimately, everyone must learn from their mistakes. NASCAR's increasing harshness towards drivers making threats of retaliation might lead to Keselowski facing consequences, but he is not racing for a championship, and the points are of little concern.
After the race, the Spire co-owner, Jeff Dickerson, acknowledged Keselowski's actions, and Keselowski dismissed the outside commentary, stating he would retaliate against anyone in the garage.
