Brad Keselowski 2015 Review
By Richard Tix
Season Grade: B
Season Preview: "Some think BK may have another down year like 2013, but I think he will come out strong again. I think he learned a lot in 2013 and used that in 2014. The big thing will be if Penske is early season adapters again. They have the resources and adapted well last year, so it should come with ease, but sometimes the sport surprises us. He wont put up 6 wins in 2015 again, but i think he can put up another 3-5. Add on 13-15 top 5's (down from 2014), and 19-21 top 10's (about the same as 2014) and he should make a strong push for title two. As most top drivers, it all comes down to those last 10 races where its make or break. BK will be in my top 3 favorites to win a title in 2015."
Season Review: Well, 2015 wasn't the season BK was looking for. It was a "down year" even though he notched 25 top 10's on the year. Most of that comes down to the fact that he finished with only one win after coming close so many times (including Homestead-Miami).
He and Joey Logano had consistently fast cars most weeks, but while JoLo was normally a top 5 runner, BK lagged a bit behind as a top 10 guy. All in all it wasn't a bad season as he was still a title contender down the stretch until he dropped out of the Chase. BK easily topped my top 10 prediction but I overreached on his wins and top 5's (1 win and 9 top 5's).
Team Penkse was strong yet again in 2015 so BK and JoLo have a lot to look forward to after two quality seasons in 2015.
