Brad Keselowski Blocks Joey Logano on Twitter


Although it seemed like any tension in the ranks at Team Penske was diffused at Disney World, Brad Keselowski issued a subtle jab at teammate Joey Logano by blocking him on Twitter.
Always smiling
“Well (reporter’s name), it was something I felt I had to do”, Keselowski said when approached outside his motor coach this morning.  “Personally everything is cool between Joey and I, but professionally I had to show him that I wouldn’t just be pushed around.  Or, more accurately, I wouldn’t be held back by a slightly slower-moving car…or Twitter feed.  Huh, this metaphor isn’t really working out.”
The outspoken Keselowski was critical of his teammate after Logano’s blocking techniques knocked both out of the non-points Busch Clash Demolition Derby on Sunday.  Reports of a reconciliation—or at least agreeing to disagree—came from both drivers’ camps, but apparently more work needs to be done.
“I don’t know what Joey would have to do to get himself unblocked”, Keselowski explained.  “Maybe he could try being the pusher somewhere other than a short track for once.  It also wouldn’t hurt if he quit looking so giddy every time he gets knocked out of a race.”
The apparent feud has caught the attention of fellow Penske teammate Ryan Blaney, who said that “…I can see both sides of the story, but really I just want to prove to Joey that my ugly yellow car is uglier than HIS ugly yellow car.  Its a matter of principle.”

All three Penske drivers are expected to battle for the win today before contending next weekend at Las Vegas with the biggest blocker of them all—Aero Push.
