Bad Brad Is a Lucky Young Man...

While practicing on Road Atlanta in preparation for Watkins Glen in a couple of weeks Brad Keselowski's brakes gave out while he entered turn one at 155 MPH. Here are a few shots (taken by Jimmie Johnson) of the site, the non-safer barrier that Brad ran into at about 100 MPH and the wreck.

Quite a long run before the wall became a problem...

Definitely not a Safer Barrier...

The Blue Deuce sure took it hard...

The following pics are of Brad's leg injuries... He was airlifted by helicopter to Atlanta Medical Center where no broken bones were found. Released this evening from the hospital, Brad's expected to be behind the wheel this weekend at Pocono...

Not a pretty sight...

No, the doctors didn't insert a grapefruit in Brad's ankle.

A question came up concerning NASCAR not allowing teams to practice on the tracks where they will actually be racing. The NASCAR tracks have been forced to become much safer. So here is an up and coming young driver who needs to practice and is out on an unsafe track. Brad Keselowski was very lucky today...

The Luck of the Polish?
