Keselowski downplayed his gutsy effort.
“I’m no hero,” Keselowski said. “The heroes are the guys [who] died in Afghanistan this weekend. I want to spend time thinking about them. They’re my inspiration for this weekend, the things that those guys do.
“I’m glad that we could win today, but those are the heroes. I just drive race cars for a living.”
I am thinking C4 shaped like garlic!
and God Bless him for saying that Norm...
Nascar is letting ‘em race..

Jimmie Johnson, Kurt Busch differ on meaning of ‘hard racing’

With the laps remaining in the single digits and Keselowski’s win all but assured, drivers were down to racing for position. And nowhere was the racing harder than in the battle for third, where Jimmie Johnson and Kurt Busch hammered back and forth at each other right into the final laps. It appeared to be hard racing, with perhaps a little more chrome horn emphasis than usual here and there. In the end, Busch won the battle and took the third position.
But right after the checkered flag flew, Johnson dropped his window netting and began motioning at Busch in frustration and disbelief. And when both reached pit road, Johnson climbed out of his car and confronted a surprised Busch. Plenty of yelling ensued, but over what?
“I worked him over for ten to 15 laps and had the opportunity to screw him over, and I didn’t do it,” Johnson told ESPN immediately after the confrontation. “I’m not going to run people over to pass them. It’s not me.”
“I was racing him flat out,” Busch said in his own interview. “I didn’t know you were supposed to pull over with five to go. We were racing clean, and he wants to come over and bitch at me?”
