They reached a boiling point in the aftermath of Saturday night’s race as Keselowski, Kenseth, Dale Earnhardt Jr. and Jimmie Johnson all saw their championship hopes fade to near-desperate status.
The pressure is on – every week – in NASCAR’s new championship format, and the frayed nerves unraveled on the track, on pit road and in the garage.
