Birthday Brad

2012 NASCAR Champion Brad Keselowski Birthday Article

Brad Keselowski turn's 30 years old

By Richard Tix

I don't do many Birthday articles on NASCAR Behind the Wall but I am today. I tend to stay pretty unbiased in my articles on here, because this is a blog for the Sport and the Fans, but this article is made up mostly for other BK fans. I am a fan of BK so he gets the birthday nod here today. For the big 30 (turned 32 now, this was from two years ago) NASCAR Behind the Wall is going to take a look back at his 2012 Championship Season in Photos. 

Food City 500 Bristol Motor Speedway
BK's first win of 2012 at Bristol Motor Speedway 3/18/12
Brad started of his 2012 campain by getting his first win of the season at the 4th race of the year. He lead almost half of the race (232 of 500 laps) after starting the day out in 5th.


Aarons 499 Talladega Superspeedway
BK Wins at Talladega 5/6/12. Aarons 499


Brad started the Aarons 499 out in 13th position and stayed out of harms way all day. He only lead 10 total laps but he lead the most important one, the last one. The Aarons 499 was BK's 2nd win of 2012.

Quaker State 400 Kentucky Speedway


Brad started the night off in 8th position after qualifying. He lead the second most laps on the night, 68. (Kyle lead the most with 118). After Kentucky BK went on to finish in the top 10 6 races in a row. 

Geico 400 Chicagoland Speedway


The first Chase race of 2012 started off with a bang for Brad Keselowski. BK entered Chicagoland with 3 wins on the season and left with his 4th and his first in the Chase. 

AAA 400 Dover International Speedway




Just one race (Loudon) went by before Brad got his second win of the Chase, fifth and final of the 2012 season. He only lead 14 laps in the race but finished the last lap up front where it matters.

Homestead 2012





Brad Keselowski finished the last race of the season at Homestead 15th but left the track the newest Sprint Cup Champion. This Championship was his first in a very short career to that point and also Rodger Penske's first NASCAR Championship. It would also be Dodge's last year in NASCAR as Penske moved to Ford. 

Happy Birthday Brad Keselowski! Good Luck in 2015!
