Right out of Brad's own mouth today:
“I have the good fortune of having some time and the mental presence to be objective and realize that some of the things I might have done during that process might not have been the cool thing to do – I might have been a jerk,” Keselowski said. “I can see that. I can see a lot of different sides and a lot of different opinions and have respect for the majority of them.
“Specifically, the incident at Phoenix [with payback of Hamlin], what I did there was over my own line so to speak. The incidents before that, I don’t feel that way about, and the incidents after that, I don’t feel that way about.”
Even he admits the taking Denny out, still think BK doesn't wreck anyone though?
Off topic: When I was there a couple years ago I saw them do 4 wide in the trucks. Kyle Busch just drove right down on the apron and passed 3 guys at once.
Jeff Burton sums up my opinion on Brad Keselowski perfectly:

It was on a restart, maybe his spotter missed the call, who knows.
All I know is why does it seem Brad is in that situation over and over again, but other driver's don't seem to be? Because some of them know when to back out of it and just let the guy in.
I agree that if you just look at this one situation, I would say Carl was wrong, he obviously cut across his nose. But like I said, Brad is constantly doing the exact same thing to other drivers too, when I look at the big picture, I have to say Brad needs to get his act together.

What Brad does wrong is he constantly does not give anyone space. He gets one inch of overlap going into a corner and he WILL NOT back out of it no matter what. That's fine when you're racing for the win, but he seems to do it week in week out all race long. Driver's constantly talk about "give and take". Brad does not give.
At Talladega, he did nothing wrong. You're coming for the win, I wouldn't expect anyone to lift in that situation. To me it's all the little stuff early on in the race that gets him in trouble.
Have you ever seen the video where Kenseth is getting interviewed and then Carl comes over, pulls him away, and acts like he's going to punch him? Afterwards Kenseth said he's glad it got caught on camera because the Carl Edwards you see giving interviews on TV is not the real Carl Edwards.
Not only was it a stupid move in general, but I'm pissed that it robbed us of what was setting up to be an awesome finish between Montoya and Busch, I was really pulling for Montoya to get his first oval win there, I think he had him for sure.
On the bright side, all those late cautions helped my boy Tony recover from a loose wheel to get back up to 13th.

Looking good man, you know what track you're racing at?
Took at spin at Zandvoort on my lunch break, very cool track. I think it was turns 2 and 3(maybe 3 and 4) I got to and I was like man this thing looks like a rollercoaster! Seemed like a tough track to pass on with big cars for sure.
Oh, I didn't hear the announcers talk about it, I just saw his arm hanging out the window and we were laughing about it.
Did anyone else notice Harvick waving out the window at Danica when he lapped her early in the Nationwide race? I have to find a video of it, he was definitely doing something.
I'll definitely be there in the Impala B, probably the Silverado as well though. One of the few places I make SURE that I qualify at first. Starting at the back of the pack can lead to trouble real fast as its so small the leaders will be lapping you in no time.
More info on that race:

I think Dover would be OK because its a smaller track, they would have to slow down more in the turns. Daytona/Talladega are also a different beast as the turns are not as sharp. Rusty Wallace has done 230-240 mph there in a stock car(not sure how many laps though) and didn't say anything about the forces affecting him.
The cookie cutter 1.5 milers are some of the fastest tracks on the Nascar schedule, so it makes sense that if open wheel cars had trouble, it would be at that type of track.

I don't see how you could write that headline and miss that
Honestly I thought it was Logano's fault, Biffle had a bumper under him(just barely) and when Logano came down, he just didn't move. To me, it didn't look like Biffle moved up into him at all.
Cup race wasn't too bad, had a lot of green flag runs so guys were coming and going from the front of the pack all day. Really thought Harvick was going to get Johnson at the end, then he bounces it off the wall.
What part of AWD did you not get?
I agree though if it was FWD...no thanks.
Setups go in: My Documents\iRacing\setups\trucks silverado(or whatever car the setup is for)
I'm not home to check right now but its something close to that. In the garage, you want to go to "My Setups" I think its called.
I run in-game at 8 and windows profiler at 107 on my G25 and I have no problems. I'm not the fastest guy out there but I can consistently finish in the top 10 in the top split as long as nothing goes wrong.
Since you said you have the Silverado already, there IS a way to get around buying a D class car. First, race legends and get your SR to 4.0+, this will allow you to "race up" in Class C without actually getting promoted. You can then do your MPR in Class C instead of D to get promoted.
I don't understand why you think you get promoted 2 levels. Just get your 4.0 which will get you promoted to D and I think you'll see how it works.
4.0 Rookie? You will go to 3.0 D.
4.0 D goes to 3.0 C, and so on.
Yes, but Fast Track is not the only way to be promoted.
2.8.3. Promotion
2.8.3.1. Fast Track: Drivers having earned a 4.00 Safety Rating at any point during the season and having met the MPR will be promoted to the next higher license level.
2.8.3.2. End of Season: Drivers having earned a 3.00 Safety Rating during the course of a season will be promoted to the next higher license level at the conclusion of that season (provided the minimum participation requirement is met).
That is straight from the sporting code:
http://membersmedia.iracing.co ... g_Code_v2010_01_15_01.pdf
Can be confusing at first, there is some good info in the sporting code though.
Yes, so if I remember correctly(I've been A too long) if you get to the end of a season with your 3.0+ SR you will get promoted. For Fasttrack, you need 4.0+. That's why it says "ready for promotion" now, if it was the end of a season you'd get a normal promotion instead of Fasttrack.
For the second part of your quote, no you will not go straight to C. Once you get promoted to D when you hit 4.0, you will lose about 1.0 of SR(new calculation for each license level) AND you now need to do your 4 races/TT's at your new license level to get another promotion.
