BRAD KESELOWSKI WINS AT DOVER!

5/31/2009

Brad Keselowski has raced to his first NASCAR Nationwide Series victory of the season, taking the lead off a restart in the final laps at Dover International Speedway. Kyle Busch led most of the second half of Saturday's race and appeared on the way to his third win of the season. But he seemed to have tire trouble off the restart that came after the caution with seven laps left.

Brad was there to take advantage and the checkered flag, perhaps taking away some of the sting of failing to qualify for Sunday's Cup race.

Brad made his fourth start for JR Motorsports at the one-mile concrete track. In his last three starts for JRM, Keselowski has an average starting position of 13.3 and an average finish of 5.7 at the 'Monster Mile'. In last season’s fall event, Keselowski started 12th and finished third.

Auto World Can Amp

Rumor has it that there just might be an Auto World Can Amp racer sometime next year, maybe around the time of the next Indy 500. Hush hush, now. This is top secret and sponsorship details are still being worked out, so don't go posting it on the interweb.

And The Oscar Award Goes To...

Got to give a PRDA award to this vehicle... Oscar.

A Lap Around Road Atlanta 1970

Oscar pilots the Auto World McLaren around Road Atlanta in 1970. Oscar narrates this video around one lap. See this and more on the DVD 1969-1971 Can Am McLarens available at http://www.autoworldmobilia.com .

Greetings again fellow PRDA enthusiasts,
The PRDA would not have happened without first the idea, after my 1969 Continental Championship F 5000 Eagle, I thought it was time to present my idea to Oscar Koveleski. Oscar was the President of Auto World , the largest mail order model car and race car accessory company in the country. I knew Oscar and Auto World had ability to reach out to the masses with is established business. I had sent a drawing of what I thought was a reasonable version of the PRDA logo. Oscar contacted his friend Brad Niemcek, who was the PR director for Johnson's Wax, the major sponsor for the Can Am series. Between Oscar and Brad, the art work was finalized and the initial introduction of the PRDA began with the exclusive ground rules for membership and Brad' s carefully prepared PRDA newsletter. Unanimously , Oscar was declared the President with Brad and myself as dual back up Vice Presidents. You have to ask yourself, Why 2 Vice Presidents ? Well we never said the PRDA was an efficient organization, Oscar being the PR whirlwind and race driver , his schedule always kept him busy. It took 2 VP's to follow up on his escapades. The rest is pretty much history as the PRDA became the most sought after membership in the history of motor racing. Tongue and cheek humor was the order of the day, however never to defame the great Polish people. Tony Adamowicz, VP of the PRDA

Visit a2zRaceGear.com today to order your exclusive PRDA ballcap today. Or tomorrow. Or wait until payday. All the cool kids are wearing them...

Putting The Call Out For Pictures

I am trying to gather color pictures of the Chevy "Briggs" van used by Oscar, Tony, and Brad in the first Cannonball Run. Any pictures would be greatly appreciated but color pictures are badly needed. You can post them here, or eMail them to ken@alleydude.com.

Any other information, such as the year of the van, colors, or anything else would also be appreciated.

Thanks!

Alleydude.
