Brad Keselowski is now a driver and co-owner in the Cup Series, and he's embracing the challenge. MMartinelli4 with an in-depth look at one of NASCAR’s most intriguing, bold and contrarian personalities.
“Sometimes, you didn’t want him to hold a wrench; he would hurt himself more often than not,” his brother, Brian Keselowski, jokes. “Sometimes, he was more of the thinker.”
He made his NASCAR debut in 2004, running eight Truck Series races for his family team with his dad as the crew chief. But after the team went broke, Keselowski bounced around to a few different rides, and at one point, he walked around the Milwaukee Mile Speedway garage basically begging for a job. Eventually, he got his big break in the summer of 2007 and was driving in the second-tier Xfinity Series for Dale Earnhardt Jr.
“He took a race shop and created a manufacturing facility out of it, and the amount of vision that it took to do that is astronomical,” Brian says. “Like, I can’t even imagine how he thought that this was the way he wanted to do things.” “That was when he first disclosed his long-term vision,” Newmark says. “Obviously, he had a long driving career that he still envisioned was ahead of him. But he kind of shared some of his, I guess, strategic plan. And so really, that just led to kind of further dialogue.”
“The move to RFK is somewhat a reflection of that,” Keselowski says. “It’s a reflection of my own disappointment of not winning a championship [and] the realization that if I wanted different results, I needed to do something different. And here I am. And I’m not out seeking headlines for that. I’m not super proud of everything I did at Penske, and I’m not looking to bash anyone. I have no intent to do that. But I am willing to take risks and do things differently because I want to win.
“He’s too stubborn to fail,” Logano says. “So he’ll make it work — I know he will — and he’ll probably win a few [races] this year.”
