    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    The template for Brad Keselowski’s racing career was established in a moment of high drama April 26, 2009, at Talladega Superspeedway.

    Denny Hamlin missed all the excitement Saturday night at Bristol Motor Speedway. While Joey Logano was skating around the other leaders to win the race and Carson Hocevar and Ryan Blaney were getting in each other’s faces, Hamlin was having a very average night on the fast half-mile. He never led the race and finished eighth. Hamlin opened the Chase as the top seed but has struggled to find his playoff footing. He finished 18th at Darlington, ninth at St. Louis, and eighth at Bristol for an aver
