Keselowski doesn't plan to back down

Brad Keselowski chose Won't Back Down by Tom Petty and The Heartbreakers as his song selection for driver introductions Sunday at Bristol Motor Speedway.

The song choice is a clear message from Keselowski, who has vowed not to change the aggressive driving style that has gotten him to NASCAR's top level but also angered several veterans. Sunday will be Keselowski's first Sprint Cup Series race since he was intentionally wrecked at Atlanta two weeks ago by Carl Edwards as payback for an earlier accident.

Bristol started the practice last summer of allowing drivers to pick their introductory music, and the idea was wildly popular for the participants and the fans. Many drivers have created opportunities over the past month for fans to vote on their song selection.

ALL-STAR CHANGE: NASCAR has added a mandatory four-tire pit stop to the format of the Sprint All-Star Race.

The race will once again be decided by a 10-lap shootout to the finish. But, for the first time, teams will be required to enter pit road for a full stop. The order that cars exit pit road will determine how they line up for the sprint to the $1 million payout.

The remainder of the format for the May 22 race at Charlotte Motor Speedway remains unchanged.

There are currently 18 drivers eligible for the race.

TRUEX TIMES TWO: Michael Waltrip Racing plans to enter Ryan Truex in six Nationwide Series races this season.

Truex is the younger brother of MWR driver Martin Truex Jr . He turns 18 on Thursday, and that's the legal age to compete on NASCAR's national level.

Ryan Truex is scheduled to make his Nationwide debut on July 17 at Gateway International Raceway. His other races are tentatively scheduled to be at Michigan, Richmond, Kansas, Charlotte and Homestead.

BACK ON TRACK: Waltrip picked up a one-race deal with Phil Parsons' Prism Motorsports team to drive the No. 55 Toyota at the Talladega (Ala.) Superspeedway in April.

In an effort to get used to Parsons' crew, Waltrip said he will practice and qualify the car this week at Bristol Motor Speedway.

Michael McDowell will drive the car during the Food City 500 next Sunday.

"The nice thing about being retired is you have time to do whatever you want," Waltrip said. "People are asking me all the time if I want to do something for them and I tell them, 'Why not? I've got plenty of time.' "
