Brad Keselowski Fun Facts
Bradley Keselowski (born February 12, 1984) is an auto racing car driver currently competing in the #88 US Navy Chevrolet Monte Carlo SS for JR Motorsports in the NASCAR Nationwide Series. He is the son of Bob Keselowski and the nephew of Ron Keselowski. His older brother Brian competes part-time in both the ARCA RE/MAX Series and the Nationwide Series.
Keselowski began competing in NASCAR in 2004, when he began racing in the Craftsman Truck Series, driving the #29 for his family-owned K Automotive Racing team. He made his debut at Martinsville Speedway, where he started 26th and finished 33rd. He made seven more starts that season, his best finish coming at Mansfield, where he finished 16th.
In 2005, Keselowski began competing in the Truck Series full-time with backing from SUBcrews.com and Samson Stone. He opened the season with a career-best seventh-place finish at the Florida Dodge Dealers 250. Running every race that season, he finished 21st in points. He ran the first two races of 2006 for K-Automotive, finishing sixteenth at California Speedway, before a lack of sponsorship caused the team to temporarily suspend operations. Keselowski then drove a pair of races filling in for the injured Kelly Sutton, where he had a seventh-place start at Memphis Motorsports Park. He returned to the trucks in August, where he finished 33rd at Bristol Motor Speedway driving the #63 for MB Motorsports.
Then in 2006 after being hired by Keith Coleman Racing, Keselowski was given his first shot to compete in the Busch Series. Keselowski would run several races in 2006 for Keith Coleman Racing in the Busch Series where he displayed flashes of his ability. He failed to qualify in his first race with the team at Bristol, but then rebounded to qualify in his next 7 straight races.
In 2007, Keselowski began running in the NASCAR Busch series full time and for Rookie of the Year honors with Keith Coleman Racing, but the team suspended operations in July. During the 2007 racing season, Keselowski was tabbed to replace Ted Musgrave at Memphis Motorsports Park after Musgrave was suspended for an in race scuffle with another driver. He qualified first for the Saturday night race, and led a majority of the race, but got bumped by Travis Kvapil with about nine laps to go, who claimed the contact was 'accidental'. Keselowski finished 16th. He drove the #88 for JR Motorsports for the rest of the year, posting five top-ten finishes.
His first win came June 7, 2008 at Nashville Superspeedway, overcoming Clint Bowyer after the final caution with only laps to go. His second Nationwide career win came in the same fashion at Bristol Motor Speedway on August 22, 2008. Late in the season, Keselowski was hired to drive the #25 Go Daddy Chevrolet for two races with Hendrick Motorsports. Keselowski was on stand-by for an ill Jeff Gordon in Kansas and for expectant father Casey Mears at Talladega that season as well. Keselowski made his Cup series debut at Texas after failing to qualify twice due to rainouts. He finished the Dickies 500 in 19th position, and 23rd in the season finale.
