Tough Guy Stance Makes Keselowski A Target

Brad Keselowski said that his incident with Carl Edwards won't change his driving style one bit. I respect this stance. But, Keselowski should realize by taking such a stance, he risks alienating himself from the other drivers who think he needs to learn respect. This could make him a target for more retaliation in the future.

  • US Fidelis has filed for Chapter 11 backruptcy, according to SceneDaily. Among creditors listed in the filing is Rusty Wallace Inc, which is owed $535,439 in sponsorship fees for sponsoring the team's No. 66 last year in the Nationwide Series. #
  • Seaport Group LLC is suing Dale Earnhardt Inc because, Seaport claims, DEI reneged on a deal to sell it a $3.25 million claim in General Motors's bankruptcy to Seaport for $783,604, according to Bloomberg.

  • At first glance, very few people would mistake German actor Michael Fassbender (Inglourious Basterds, 300) for four-time NASCAR Sprint Cup Champion Jimmie Johnson. Considering the look Fassbender sported in Inglorious Basterds, it's hard to see the resemblance. But if you watch Fassbender in 300 or see him out of character, the resemblance is more striking. #
