Brad Keselowski called out NASCAR for being inconsistent with decisions on when to throw out a caution flag. On Tuesday, the veteran NASCAR Cup Series driver went to X/Twitter to respond to a fan blasting NASCAR for not throwing a yellow flag for Keselowski.

“It doesn’t bother me when yellows don’t get thrown for me or I get penalties that are questionable,” Keselowski wrote. “IT MAKES ME MAD AS HELL when it’s not the same for others, which has been the case too many times over the last few years.”

The fan was responding to another fan who called out NASCAR for not throwing a caution while Brad Keselowski had a loose wheel in he middle of the track. When Keselowski responded, fans showed their support for him.

“I’m tired of it,” one fan wrote. “I was in the stands in 2022 when you blew a RF and no caution then shortly after the 20 blows one and oh immediately a caution. So damn inconsistent. Need (to) get something figured out there and quit throwing it based on who it is.”

A rought start to the 2025 season for Brad Keselowski

Another fan added, “Preach! I tweeted as soon as it happened Sunday and there was no yellow that had it been one of their golden boys, they wouldn’t have wasted any time throwing the yellow. Not the first time either.”

It’s been a tough start for Keselowski and the No. 6 team as they have yet to win a race or finish in he top 10 this year. On Sunday, Keselowski finished 33rd at Darlington after having a detached wheel situation.

“Yeah, had a great car today. Felt like we had one of the better cars on the long run. Just had an unfortunate deal on a pit stop with not getting the right rear tight, and the wheel nut came off,” Keselowski’s crew chief Jeremy Bullins told Racing America On SI after the race. “It cost us a couple of laps, and got one of them back, just couldn’t get in the right situation to get the others back.”
