I like what he does off the track as much as what he does on it. He doesn't just write a check, he gets involved.

Keselowski a Champ in More Ways Than One
In September of 2011 at Richmond International Raceway, Brad Keselowski made a lasting impression on our company.
Just after the NASCAR Nationwide Series driver's meeting, he walked up to our guests - two United States servicemen who had both lost four limbs in combat - and invited them to take a ride in his race car.
It was the first time we had heard of his Checkered Flag Foundation, and we were pretty stunned by his offer.
We were more stunned when he followed up on it.
At two subsequent races, Keselowski's Foundation brought both Brendan Marrocco and Todd Nicely, along with a host of other wounded veterans, to different race tracks and treated them to a race weekend they will never forget.
Sure, they got to ride in a real race car with a champ behind the wheel. But these soldiers and Marines who have sacrificed so much got a lot more than that. They got time to get back to normal.
After Marrocco spent the weekend with Keselowski and the Checkered Flag Foundation at Bristol this August, he told us that that one race weekend experience was the most awesome thing he's ever done. He also said that part of what made the weekend so memorable was that Keselowski took the time to sit down and talk to him man-to-man.
In May of these year, we were honored to have Keselowski as one of our special guests at our annual RCCA Member Appreciation party. He didn't come alone. He brought the folks from the Checkered Flag Foundation with him and, true to form, he talked to our 300 attendees about not taking the sacrifice of our servicemen for granted.
So congratulations Brad Keselowski. You've been a true champ to us for a while now - the title just makes it official.
