Keselowski, Stewart Fined for Post Race

Today Brad Keselowski was fined $50,000 and Tony Stewart was fined $25,000. They were both placed on probation for 4 races. Matt Kenseth and Denny Hamlin were not penalized at all. I think Kenseth should be fined for for tackling Keselowski.

Keselowski, others feud in post race

Apparently winning is no longer the biggest headline of a race as Brad Keselowski, Denny Hamlin, Matt Kenseth, and Tony Stewart. After the race when Hamlin tried to confront Keselowski Hamlin's crew held Hamlin back saying "If you do this it won't end well." Leaving Hamlin to only throw a towel at Kez. This all started with about 2 laps to go Hamlin and Kez were pushing each other up the track and blamed the other person for taking them both in the wall and losing many positions.
On the cool down lap, Keselowski drives up the track to intentionally wreck Hamlin. He misses and attempt's to hit Hamlin's car during pit lane. In pit lane Kez wrecks Hamlin's teammate Matt Kenseth by accident and also hits Tony Stewart. Tony Stewart drives backwards to intentionally wreck Keselowski and destroy's Kez's car.
After the race as Kesolowski walks to his hauler, Matt Kenseth comes from behind and tackles Kez starting a brawl between pit crews which is eventually broken up by nascar officials. The drivers could not come to a conclusion as to who started the fight.
My dad predicts that Tony Stewart will wreck Keselowski next week at the begining of the race.
I predict  Nascar will veto another feud.

I believe the new chase format was the cause of this.

Bianchi Injured in Horrific Crash

On Sunday Jules Bianchi was injured in a horrfic crash. The tow tractor was picking up Adrian Sutil's car when Jules Bianchi' Marussia slid into the tow tractor and through it. The race was called under Red Flag. Bianchi was airlifted to the hospital and underwent surgery that day.Lewis Hamilton won the race by default. I send my condolences to Bianchi and his family. This is truly a tragedy.
Watch the video with caution.

Vettel Leaving Red Bull

This Morning  it was announced that Sebastian Vettel will leave Red Bull at the end of the season. He has spent 15 years with the team that gave him 4 F1 World Titles. He announced he will go to Ferrari in 2015 to replace the outgoing Kimi Raikonen.Vettel will drive alongside Spainard Fernando Alonso. Daniil Kyvat from Toro Rosso Red Bull's junior team will replace Vettel in 2015. In my opinion Red Bull and Ferrari are doomed. Red Bull's new driver lineup is Daniel Ricciardo and Daniil Kyvat. That is not a strong enough driver lineup to compete for championships. A Ferrari is making the same mistake with Alonso and Vettel as MCLaren did with Senna and Prost. They are going to end up taking each other out so someone else wins.
             I was deeply dissapointed to hear Sebastian Vettel will leave Red Bull.

Who Got Eliminated?

This past weekend Jeff Gordon won at Dover to clinch the round of 12. Where Aric Almirola, AJ Allmindenger, Greg Biffle and Kurt Busch were elminated. Aric Almirola was never a legitimate threat to make it through. Greg Biffle had struggles and never made it to the front.AJ Allmindenger struggled with speed. Kurt Busch's car lost it's handling toward the end of the race.
