Brad Keselowski 2016 Preview
By Richard Tix
2015 wasn't a bad season for BK (see 2013), but it wasn't the standard we have been seeing lately out of the driver of the Blanco Deuce. BK actually posted a career high in top 10's, and also should have ended the season with more than one win, but almost every driver has times during a given season where they should have won but a ruling (caution) came out and stole it.
It did seem like it happened more often to BK than anyone in 2015, but that's how racing goes. In the end he ended 2015 with just 1 win and 9 top 5's which are both low marks for him lately, meanwhile his teammate Joey Logano was one of the best cars all season.
Ford has changed there car a bit in 2016 and it will be interesting to see how it effects the Penske drivers early on. They have really been the only quality Ford's for the past 3-4 seasons so if they start to falter then Ford is left with no one.
Bold Predictions/2016 Season Expectations:
- Just like after 2013, I see another big come back season for BK in 2016. Since 2011 he has 16 wins in 180 races, which is a win every 11.25 races. That's not a bad mark to have in your last 5 seasons (he has only raced 6 full time years). I do see another 3-4 wins, 10-13 top 10's, and 20-22 top 10's in 2016 and also for BK to be a legit contender at the end of the season. The key will be making the final four, which I think BK will do.
