Not sure this is a good idea.

CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- NASCAR said Tuesday Brad Keselowski can keep his cellphone in his race car during events, and all drivers are encouraged to use social media.

Keselowski

Keselowski drew worldwide attention for posting on Twitter during a red-flag period in Monday night's season-opening Daytona 500. He posted pictures, answered questions and kept fans informed of what was happening during the stoppage that lasted just over two hours.

The tweeting gained Keselowski roughly 14

I can see some of the tweets now:

"Jr is trying to pass on the outside. Hold on a sec."

"Holy crap...did you see that flip he just did? I looked wicked cool from my rear view mirror!!"

"Alright, 10 laps to go. Got the lead. Just gotta pass these slow mother........."

"DAmn that hurt. Spending the night in the hospital for observations."

You left out this part.

"We encourage our drivers to use social media to express themselves as long as they do so without risking their safety or that of others."

It's not like they're going to be texting while while they're exiting turn four, three wide.

He wasn't even in the car when he was posting stuff. It was a 2 hour red flag and all the driver were hanging out joking and BSing... I seriously doubt they would text and drive

Someone probably brought the phone to him after they got out of their cars, I would think.

This......friggin idiots who are thinking NASCAR drivers are tweeting while racing @ 100+ mph. although, all of those "that was so 20 seconds ago" commercials would be a great Nascar commercial involving a driver.

I thought Keso already said he had it in the car with him. maybe i'm making that up but I could have sworn I heard that spewing out of one of the Waltrip's mouths during the broadcast.

      Boy the flyers look good early. Lots of bad plays and slow start by our team. Hope that changes before the score changes.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By strato · Posted

      I guess I should have stipulated outside the sacred cow.   I complained from year one that Bryce should compete for and win the starting job on his own merit but no he was just handed it. I have been right there with everyone that wants competition.  But I don’t really have a huge problem with it for this season the way it has gone because where are the viable people we don’t have to trade for? I actually am okay with tiny hands Pickett because he is so close to Bryce arm strength wise and to be honest, skill wise. Probably. And it is only a one year deal.  That also takes into account that the QB class is looking stacked next year and if Young fails miserably then we get either a reset or a real competition and there will be more guys that I would like looking at in the FA QB class next year as well.    I sort of accept where we are this year and look at it as another treading water year (at QB). I just want to get to next year with some clarity. More than anything. And they did empty out the room (behind him anyway). Again, who was really there for us?  And I know it would not be a true competition at this point anyway. They are giving him the year, like it or not.    Also I don’t give a poo about winning games IF he sucks and or goes down after sucking because draft position and that stacked QB class.  And I want out from under him So Bad.     So I guess it is several factors that lessen my anxiety over his backup this particular season.    I am not trying to convince anyone, but you asked. That’s how I look at it.
