Brad Keselowski: NASCAR

Casey Mears Dept: He was one of the few drivers with a strong opinion after two Friday practice sessions. Qualifying was washed out by rain, and Casey Mears and Brad Keselowski will start on the front row because the field was set by practice times. Keselowski has won the last two Cup races at the track, according to Globe and Mail. Smith is hoping the race proves Bristol is once again one of the most exciting tracks in NASCAR. After yet another ho-hum Bristol race in March, Smith had the top lane ground down in an effort to eliminate the two-wide racing that fans believed ruined the product. Progressive banking was added to the track in 2007, and the bumping and banging that was a Bristol trademark disappeared and terrible, he said. Few drivers ventured into the top groove during practice, and insisted it's too early to tell how the race will develop. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
