I don't exactly know why he would do that though, keeping his phone in his race car pretty much all the time.

The answer is right there... It's if he gets in a really bad wreck, such as his Road Atlanta testing crash last year where he had to be transported to hospital so he can contact family.

But why must he have his phone in the car with him? A team member cannot hand the phone for him later?

What's the big deal? It isn't like he is using it during the race.

If it awards a fine, then I wouldn't understand his reasoning

I don't understand your reasoning. If his parents are not at the race and away from the TV, shouldn't he be able to contact them ASAP to let them know he's OK after a crash? Contacting his parents ASAP is far more sufficient than having TV and radio do it for you. And if NASCAR didn't have a problem with it on two previous occasions, why are they having a problem with it now?

Maybe they're worried Keselowski might have a big accident soon like he has in NASCAR before, and it could damage his phone as well, but that's just in my opinion.

I bet he's got more than one phone...

That's why they have inventions called pockets. But he hopes to wish that there's a glove compartment that NASCAR may install for his phone lol.

1st, he must be concentrating to have the points lead coming into the final race by 20 points. 2nd off, relating to fans isn't cool under a red flag apparently. 3rd, yes, an imbecile apparently is leading the championship according to Milan655.

Yes, but you only have one SIM card

maybe but where? In the car? Don't answer if that question was so dumb.

No, I'd call it fairly childish to be tweeting while you wait to restart. It's his job, tweet after the race, he can wait..

Skill is unrelated to intelligence (in the most part). Albeit, I think I chose the wrong word for it, my understanding of "imbecile" may have been incorrect, so it was too strong for my original use.

What is with your anger?

In any case, could he not have a team member contact his parents while he drives? This is what I had done with my uncle...

It's not anger; it's trying to beat into your head the fact that NASCAR is inconsistent with how they go about their business. They raised no hell after Daytona about what Brad did. It was quite a sight to see him Tweeting during a red flag following one of the most bizarre accidents in racing history. For God's sake, it was the plot in one of the Los Minidrivers preseason "Ministories", although the guy who does those doesn't understand English very well, and I was under the impression that he thought Keselowski was actually Tweeting during the race (and Brad is smarter than that). And besides, what Brad did isn't the problem here. It's what happened between Jeff and Clint that's the big story. The only positive that came from the Gordon-Bowyer incident was LOLGano's whiny little Tweet about Gordon, to which I kindly reminded him (with a "Shut up." at the end) about how he won at Pocono in June.

How about Nascar dosent want to portray illegal (In some states) activity.

OK, then I must apologise as I had missed your original point. It appeared you were trying to defend his actions, however you were not. Yes, I will agree then that NASCAR makes inconsistencies within their penalties, but maybe sometimes they need to give one to stop many? Perhaps.

Oh god don't say that. That would make too much sense to people!

Now, I'm not familiar with the US legal system, but surely you can be on your phone while you're not driving...

Don't think it's been mentioned yet, but Brad doesn't keep the phone in his pocket, he has something made up in the car, similar to a drink holder, that holds his phone, so if he gets into a wreck for phone doesn't go flying everywhere.

According to Jayski, NASCAR had told drivers after Daytona that they weren't to do that anymore, something I don't remember happening :/

Just because they didn't make it public doesn't mean it didn't happen.

I honestly think you don't know the meaning 'Short-Track Tempers' do you? It tends to happen we drivers go a little too far trying to race each other.

This is related to mobile phones.

How is it? You go ahead and explain.

This quote was related to mobile phones within the cockpit.

In some states, unless you are pulled off to the side of the road or something similar, it's flat out illegal, period.

Ryan and I were talking about the phone incident. You said something about short track tempers.
