Things have been quiet around these parts lately. Some by choice, a little by outside factors which took away time normally devoted to breaking down the latest NASCAR news. But, I haven’t been completely cut off from the racing world. The races were watched, dissected and discussed. And it was during that quiet time, removed from the journalism side, that viewing racing from a different perspective brought forth many thoughts.

In my next interview, I had the honor of speaking with Brian Keselowski. Brian is the older brother of fellow NASCAR driver Brad Keselowski. He is a past winner in the ARCA Racing Series and is a competitor in the NASCAR Nationwide Series driving the no. 92 Chevrolet Impala for K-Automotive Motorsports. Here is my interview with Brian.

The #50 Chevrolet is sporting a familiar look with Liberty Tire Recycling on the hood but with veteran driver David Starr for this weekend’s events at Atlanta Motor Speedway.

MacDonald Motorsports is proud to announce that Random Acts will be featured on the No. 81 of Jason Bowles this weekend at Atlanta Motor Speedway.

Bowles and the team are excited to represent such a great organization on the No. 81 for the NRA American Warrior 300 this Saturday night.

DODGE QUOTES: “I like Atlanta and that there are a lot of different opportunities for places that you can run at. When you catch somebody you can run where they’re not. It’s going to be the first racetrack that we’ve been on in a while that you can start moving your line around and try to figure out different ways to get around people. The more rubber you put down, you get that porousness of the track filled in a little bit."
