Brad Keselowski's pole-winning time for truck race disallowed

[Blaze]

Brad Keselowski thought he'd won the pole for Saturday afternoon's NASCAR Camping World Truck Series race at Atlanta Motor Speedway (5 p.m. ET, FOX Sports 1).
In fact, the 2012 Sprint Cup Series champion even posed with the pole award in Victory Lane after qualifying ended.

Keselowski won't lead the field to the green flag for the Hyundai Construction Equipment 200, however, as NASCAR ruled that Keselowski's pole-winning lap didn't begin until time had expired in the final round of knockout qualifying.

WTF NASCAR

How do you keep screwing up?

 

[Blaze]

Not even close really.

 

[Johali]

This was in two other threads. I still like it though. He deserves what he gets.

 

[ted@economy]

Brad may deserve it but why do we deserve this system ?

 

[Naitch]

I just love how NASCAR didn't have ANYONE in their booth who could have caught that Kes missed the clock.

I meant that he deserves to get kicked back to tenth.

 

[mike honcho]

Took them long enough to figure it out?

Yep. Everybody saw it. The clock said 00 when he crossed the line.

They let him go all out posing as the pole winner before they could decide?!!!!!!!!!!

I thought it was funny.

 

[Naitch]

Don't worry guys, Alex Bowman has taken the blame for this.

 

[SpeedPagan]

I really hate this new qualifying format, it is a ****** joke.

Larry Mac is always watching the clock. It wasn't close at all, question is why didn't brad see the flag? IMO, they prolly figured bad brad knew he didn't beat the clock. Nobody saw anything, making NASCAR telling him during the celebration more painful and embarrassing.

Meh, he'll get over it. He ain't very deep.

How is this NASCAR's fault? Kes is the one who sat cooling his tires on pit road until the last possible second. Or the next-to-last not-possible second. He and the rest of them had plenty of time. You takes your chances, you pays your prices.

Why did he start 10th and not at the tail end of the pack??

I don't know why they didn't see that the first time.

He already had advanced to the final round legally.

Frankly I think Nascar wanted one of their stars on the pole and had to change it because of fans tweeting that they clearly saw him miss it.

They probably wish no one had seen it for sure.

I really hate this new qualifying format, it is a ******* joke.

I just want single car qualifying back. Now they've turned something as simple as setting the lineup into a circus.

Circus? DON'T give the brain ideas! When the cars leave pit road he'll have this playing over the PA!
