Brad Keselowski Defends Sonoma Blame on Social Media

2026-06-29 · Brad Keselowski · Player Focus

Brad Keselowski took to social media to defend himself after being blamed for a chain reaction at Sonoma Raceway on June 18.

He claimed he was "visibly getting pushed from behind" when he bumped into Carson Hocevar, triggering the incident.

The onboard footage suggested Keselowski bumped into Hocevar, but he found a strong defense, saying the entire bunch of cars entering the turn was to blame.

Keselowski's comment seemed to label the incident as a racing incident, with many factors contributing to the chain reaction.

Denny Hamlin, who was affected by the incident, dropped to the back of the field and finished 26th, despite having a strong pace throughout the race.

Hamlin managed to take the top spot in the points table, but with only a one-point gap, the championship is still uncertain.

Keselowski's defense on social media highlights the complexity of the incident, with multiple cars involved and various factors contributing to the chain reaction.

The incident occurred at Turn 7, which proved to be a tricky corner for the race leaders to navigate.

Alex Bowman was trailing Keselowski closely, and Joey Logano and Todd Gilliland were also involved in the mess.

The exact cause of the incident is still unclear, but Keselowski's defense on social media has sparked a debate about the incident.

Hamlin's strong pace throughout the race was overshadowed by the damage to his car, which affected his finish.

The championship is still wide open, with Hamlin and Tyler Reddick competing for the top spot.
