Brian Keselowski, brother of NASCAR driver Brad Keselowski, has shared a previously untold story about their father, former NASCAR driver Bob Keselowski. Brian revealed how he encouraged their father to compete in an Xfinity Series race, shedding light on a significant moment in their racing family’s history.
Bob made his NASCAR debut in the 1994 UAW-GM Teamwork 500 at Pocono Raceway, now known as The Great American Getaway. His race ended early with a P42 finish after an engine failure in the first 20 laps.
"Tried to get my dad approved in 2010 to run IRP nationwide race. They wouldn’t approve him to run but truck series short tracks. At that time, he hadn’t driven in nascar since 2000. Now to be fair,he only wanted to get in to wreck Carl Edwards,so it was probably the right thing," Brian Keselowski tweeted.
