I love short track racing (Taylor's Version)
From USA Today:
MOORESVILLE, N.C. — Back when he drove for JR Motorsports, Brad Keselowski used to live in a house on team owner Dale Earnhardt Jr.'s expansive property.
And while there were plenty of cool aspects to being neighbors with a NASCAR superstar, Keselowski couldn't help but feel the whole experience came up a bit short of his expectations.
"I just really expected I'd be pulling in the gate and there'd be women in the fountains and things like that," Keselowski said Wednesday night during a preseason media tour. "Just awesomeness! Like the Playboy mansion.
"And that didn't happen, and I was kind of like, 'Aww…'"
Keselowski felt that mild disappointment again recently after winning the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series championship. After all, his own driveway fountain — a little waterfall into a pool filled with koi fish — wasn't filled with frolicking beautiful women, either.
He didn't expect the women would show up after he became champion, he joked, "but I was hoping!"
...
Washington Redskins quarterback Robert Griffin III tweeted him in December, and Olympic swimmer Michael Phelps went out of his way to come say hello when both were attending a recent Baltimore Ravens game.
"I never really expected that, so that was really cool," he said. "I'm appreciative for that."
The celebrity Keselowski most wants to meet, though — he's made no secret of his crush on actress Jennifer Love Hewitt — hasn't indicated she wants to hang out anytime soon.
"Apparently she's busy," he said.
