NASCAR Statement on Brad Keselowski's Use of Social Media During the Daytona 500

[TheOldProgrammer]

I can't believe they would even consider this... Then again, it is NA$CAR...

NASCAR will not penalize #2-Brad Keselowski for his use of Twitter during last night's Daytona 500. Nothing we've seen from Keselowski violates any current rules pertaining to the use of social media during races. As such, he won't be penalized. We encourage our drivers to use social media to express themselves as long as they do so without risking their safety or that of others.(NASCAR)(2-28-2012)

I don't think it was considered, but given the fact that other major sports ban the use of social media by the players, they probably wanted to issue the statement in order to show the world that they don't stop these guys from having fun.

It gave the Waltrips something else to talk about other than themselves.
