Recently, Brad Keselowski spoke about what it takes to be a successful driver in NASCAR. He noted that in his early days, he would often rely on the machinery and aerodynamics to go fast. However, lots of things changed during his decade-long career and those are no longer his ‘go-to’ answers.

As he prepares to fight for one of the final three playoff spots, he insisted that he has the capability to win the championship. He said, “Last night I could not sleep and this morning I woke up super early and hungry. It became crystal clear in my mind how great a chance my team has at winning the 2020 championship.”

He also admitted that he has to evolve and improve constantly, as his rivals will do the same. Keselowski has faith in his team and knows that winning the 2020 crown needs ‘guts and preparation’. He insisted that drivers find their motivation and leverage it every day and never give up.

Brad definitely has what it takes to secure a berth. Joey Logano was able to grab an unexpected win at Kansas and automatically seal his slot. Although the likes of Kevin Harvick and Denny Hamlin are the favorites, the Playoffs have been unpredictable.

Harvick and Hamlin dominated in the regular season, splitting 16 wins between them, nine and seven respectively. However, this also means that there is a lot more pressure on them. With the ‘championship 4’ race just a week away, the stakes have never been higher.

Second-placed Hamlin currently has a slim lead over Brad Keselowski, and in theory, they can all qualify. Keselowski believes that Harvick and Hamlin are a certainty for Phoenix, but he will be in for a tough battle for that final spot.
