Brad Keselowski currently pilots the No. 88 U.S. NAVY Chevrolet for JR Motorsports in the NASCAR Nationwide Series. He has two top-five and nine top-10 finishes in 45 career NASCAR Nationwide Series races.

Keselowski, who is 24 years old, hails from Rochester Hills, Michigan, and got his start in racing at Waterford Hills in Waterford, Michigan. Brad began racing at Waterford Hills when he was 12 years old in Quarter Midget competition.
