Keselowski: 'I try not to' feed into Texas fight hype

Even though Texas track president Eddie Gossage has opted to publicize the race using fighting words with images of the two combatants on area billboards, Keselowski says he's not feeding into the promotion.

"I try not to," Keselowski said Wednesday at Richmond International Raceway's open test session. "I don't think that's what racing's about or what it should be about, but I respect that for Eddie, that sells tickets. He's got to do what he's got to do."
 
Extracurriculars aside, Keselowski hopes to keep this year's momentum rolling at a facility where he's never won. After finishing 41st with engine failure in the season-opening Daytona 500, Keselowski has rebounded with a string of five consecutive top-10 finishes, including a win at Auto Club Speedway and a runner-up effort the following week at Martinsville Speedway.
 
Keselowski's modest two-race streak of top-two finishes doesn't quite reach the stunning level of Kevin Harvick's just-ended streak of eight top-twos in a row, but the Team Penske driver said it's a good start.

 
"That's what we're aiming for," Keselowski said. "We feel like we've had good cars. We need to be a little bit better on the mile-and-a-half (tracks), but every other week, we feel like we're where we need to be."
