Brad Keselowski's Extremely High Daytona Crash Rate Does Not Inspire Confidence
4 months agoWhile Brad Keselowski has a reputation as one of the best drivers on drafting tracks, that's more because of his Talladega record than his more hit-or-miss Daytona record. Although he pushed his teammate Chris Buescher to victory in last year's race, he has crashed out of a staggering 11 of the last 15 races at Daytona and has crashed out of almost every race where he has contended to win since his one win at Daytona in 2016. While it seems like this trend has to regress to the mean at some point, it is true that Keselowski overdrives and gets impatient at these tracks more than most other stars do. However, he will more likely be let down because the Chevy and Toyota teams have had better strategy than the Ford teams. Additionally, Keselowski might be more focused on getting Chris Buescher in the playoffs than his own race.
