About Brad Keselowski

Bradley Aaron Keselowski (; born February 12, 1984) is an American professional stock car racing driver, team owner, and entrepreneur. He competes full-time in the NASCAR Cup Series, driving the No. 6 Ford Mustang Dark Horse for RFK Racing, a team he also co-owns. He was the owner of Brad Keselowski Racing, which fielded two full-time trucks in the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series for 10 years. Keselowski, who began his NASCAR career in 2004, is the second of only six drivers to win a championship in both the Cup Series (2012) and the O'Reilly Series (2010) and the twenty-fifth driver to win a race in each of NASCAR's three national series. When he won the Cup Series championship in 2012, he joined Dale Earnhardt and Jeff Gordon as the only drivers to win the title within their first three full seasons of competition. Keselowski is the owner and founder of Keselowski Advanced Manufacturing, a hybrid manufacturing company based in Statesville, North Carolina, specializing in additive metal technologies as well as CNC machining. Keselowski won his first career pole for the race, and led sixty-two laps, but got turned around by Travis Kvapil as they fought for the lead with ten laps to go. In 2008 Keselowski re-signed with JR Motorsports for the 2008 Nationwide Series season, and earned his first career victory in the Federated Auto Parts 300 at Nashville Superspeedway, holding off Clint Bowyer.
