Brad Keselowski and Joey Lagano

[ochoco]

I know there are a lot of people on Joey's jock and maybe I'm just annoyed because I like Brad Keselowski and the way he screwed him in Saturdays race. But damn he seems like he is running into everyone. Very Kyle Busche esque in his methods.

Then again a lot of this could be due to the fact that he's still young and it was only his 4th race but the way he did Brad was annoying. It would be one thing if Brad had been crowding him and he just got loose that one time but Brad was giving him all kinds of room and Joey was loose on all of his previous attempts to pass Brad. Just seemed like he decided what the hell and did it anyway.

Again, just my observation. Wanted to see what others thought.

We know Lagano will fit right in with dumb and dumber.

Re: Brad Keselowski and Joey Lagano

Gotta love how in Lagono's first Nationwide Race he finished 6th and he said, "That's not very good in my book." Gotta learn that you don't win every race Joey!

Re: Brad Keselowski and Joey Lagano

Just looked like hard racing to me. Keselowski could have let him go, especially on a flat track like Milwaukee. But it was without a doubt all Lagano's doing. Not sure if he was just dumb move or a rookie mistake. Now a stupid move was the one Harvick done yesterday.

The Harvick move of "I'm just going to race to the tires" where he took out 2 others?

As for the Lagano/Keselowski, it could go either way but for me it's on Lagano; remember the crew chat of 'take, take, take'

It was definitely Logano's fault but it's not like he chose to knock Keselowski out of the way he was just a little too aggressive and lost control a bit. It happens, especially with young guys. If he starts doing this often then it may be a problem.

Oh yeah and it's Logano not Lagano.

Re: Brad Keselowski and Joey Lagano

I agree that it happens, and the whole "rubbin' is racin'" motto, but...

It just seemed to me like after trying 2 or 3 times just before that to pass him and getting very, very loose every time, he just finally decided to pull a KB and use Keselowski as a bumper.

Either way, regardless of your popularity and ability coming in, I just assumed being a new driver in the Nationwide series he would be a bit more cautious. Pair that with the fact that he never seems to think any of it's his fault. Never heard a "that's too bad what happened with Brad..." comment. Even Carl Edwards, a veteran driver, commented on his getting into Bowyer. Just seem like Joey is overly arrogant I guess.

I'm kind of itchy to see some of these drivers retaliate more. Maybe that's just not the way it works anymore but drivers like KB have quite a bit of payback still owed to them. Just seems like some drivers take it and forget about it... bah!

Guess we just need Warren Wallace to get old enough to drive! Then he can "put him in the wall". One of my favorite damn commercials...lol.

Re: Brad Keselowski and Joey Lagano

Wow, you really dislike the guy huh! just becasue he did not apologize publicly does not mean he did not do it in private. All apologies do not have to be made public.
I like both drivers,but they are both young and will make mistakes and try to fit into places that they should not try to fit into. But don't hate a guy becase he made a mistake(s), if thats the case we would all be hated.

Nah, I've actually been rooting for him to do well. I realize he has a ton of pressure on him right now and he is prone to push harder because of it. I was just annoyed about the way he got to second in that race.

Theres only a few drivers I truly dislike, and Joey is definitely not one of them. I've just seen him do a lot more running into people than I think he should be, pressure or not pressure. I think he is going for a record with the amount of times you slam someone in the pits!.

Honestly I was more disappointed that Brad ended up finishing so far back and wasn't able to let it go. It would of been different if he would have been passed cleanly but it was almost a mirror image of what KB did to Junior a few weeks back. I would feel much better if some of these actions would start having some more noticeable retaliations!

Re: Brad Keselowski and Joey Lagano

They're both awesome.

What the prollum is?

Re: Brad Keselowski and Joey Lagano

The problem is Jr nation hates JGR, cept Tony.

Brad rear ended KB during caution a month or so ago, where was your outrage then? Oh yeah, it was at KB when he retaliated.

The "I love Jr and thus hate JGR drivers because they win and Jr doesn't" nation is pathetic. Oh, except Tony Stewart, cause he isn't a meanie like the other JGR guys.

Re: Brad Keselowski and Joey Lagano

First off, I do not hate any of the drivers. I have no reason to. They are all extremely talented individuals. I do dislike how some of them drive. As far as Kyle Busch goes, I dislike some of his methods but respect his talent. The kid is on fire.

Though I guess it is to be expected, some people see a Junior fan and just start making all kinds of assumptions. I stated earlier that I was just annoyed at the way Joey used Brad as a bumper and killed his chances of finishing first. He did not need to do that it and ya it annoyed me.

You also have your facts a bit off. Brad bumped Denny Hamlin, not Kyle Busch. He did so as a result of something I didn't see earlier on. According to Brad anyway. Then Denny proceeded to tear up Brads fender pretty badly, again affecting his race cars ability to be as competitive. Though with that incident I chalked it up to a pissing contest and nothing more. Some people got really upset over it.

I don't hate JGR either. I'm a football fan too and Joe Gibbs is a great leader of men. I respect the heck out of him as well. I do dislike Toyota though, but whatcha gonna do, can't have everyone be Chevy!! Out of the JGR team I think I like Denny Hamlin the least and Tony Stewart\Kyle Busch the most. I judge drivers more by their maturity and the less arrogant they are the better. Denny tends to come off as very arrogant, at least to me.

Lumping certain fans into one large stereotype is ignorant and should be avoided.

Re: Brad Keselowski and Joey Lagano

You're right, it was Hamlin, not KB, my mistake. And my post was not directed at you in particular, but more on the attitude of several on this board. I come here to read others thoughts on a game, not blahblah X driver sucks.

Actually, I'm a Boywer fan. I've just noticed that while reading posts on this board, unlike the NCAA/Madden boards, there seems to be alot of "off-topic" posts directed at certian teams/drivers.

Joey bounced off Brad, no doubt. He's young and went too fast into the corner and couldn't control it.

I just find it funny everyone goes after him and KB for being reckless in this thread. Did anyone watch Sunday? Ambrose was a freakin pinball. For that matter, he is almost every Saturday. Where is all the Ambrose hate? Oh yeah, he doesn't win, so no one cares. KB makes other drivers look bad, and people hate him for it.

Re: Brad Keselowski and Joey Lagano

Tony Stewart is the most arrogant driver in the world, and you say Denny Hamlin is that made me laugh a little. Tony Stewart has the attitude of a 14 year old.

I'm also a Jr fan and not sure why someone is lumping the bad-mannered fans into the good fanbase of Jr.

I dont like Busch at certain points but he can drive and we all saw him last week come out of no where to win it

I dont hate Joe Gibbs' team because "they win and Jr doesnt", in fact I enjoy seeing Joe Gibbs get into victory lane..

As for coming to this section of OS, I don't believe this is only for racing games but the real life venue also.
