Brad Keselowski was in perfect position to compete for a second Sprint Cup title in three years a couple of weeks ago. Now he is on the verge of elimination heading into Talladega, and adding to that is the run-ins Keselowski had with Denny Hamlin, Tony Stewart and Matt Kenseth after Saturday night's race at Charlotte. Keselowski had won the 501-mile, 334-lap race last year after missing the Chase and it was his only win of the season.
Keselowski sure made a lot of people mad with his driving during the final laps of the race, and three drivers made that very clear after race winner Kevin Harvick took the checkered flag. Keselowski seems to have gone from a championship favorite, with five wins on the season and the winningest driver at one point, to the "enemy" of the 12 current Chase drivers. Matt Kenseth, a fellow former Cup champion, said Keselowski wasn't thinking like a champion, and that's what drove everyone crazy. But maybe Keselowski will clean up his act next week, and something could happen that allows him to advance to the third round after all. Some fans and drivers would love to see him eliminated next week, though, after what has gone down between him and the other drivers, Chase and non-Chase.
