However, the 38-year-old driver has not let a setback dampen his spirits as he prepares to pay tribute to military veterans by writing their children's names on his car.
In commemoration, Keselowski will carry a different name on his No. 6 Ford Mustang for each race throughout the month of April. He tweeted about his plans to show support for the veterans and wrote:
"Throughout April I’ll have a special military child above my passenger door each race. We’re kicking it off this weekend in Richmond with two names… Welcome aboard, Taylor and Sadie. #MonthOfTheMilitaryChild #MOMC"
