nascar 2009 <> for week #23

impressive finish to today's nationwide race at michigan ... watch ... if rick hendrick doesn't soon find a way to put brad keselowski in a sprint cup car full time in 2010 ... someone else will ... keselowski qualified 12th for tomorrow's race ... after the impressive finish came a less than impressive confrontation ... watch ... brian vickers said "i'm sorry, i forgot it was the kyle busch show" ... it wasn't until kyle made it so ... when i was a kid we called them "sore losers" ... today it's probably more correct to say kyle seems not to handle "not winning" well

and, oh by the way ... when brian vickers says he didn't know the 88 was closing fast in the high line ... the only way he is going to know about keselowski is if his spotter or crew chief tells him
