What other objectives does Brad Keselowski have?

In addition to that, the Michigan native also confessed that he would love to have a win on home soil. Out of all his years in the sport, he has never won at home. Brad Keselowski has managed at least three second-place finishes on his home track. While that is an impressive feat, he will want to visit Victory Lane at some point.

Last but not least, Keselowski is eager to snatch a Cup Series victory on a road course. The closest he ever got was second place at Watkins Glen. In fact, it is probably his best track because he finished second on three consecutive occasions. Fortunately for him, the NASCAR paddock is going to visit Watkins Glen in 2021.

This means that the Team Penske driver will finally get another chance to bag a road course win. Of course, there are other tracks where he can make his mark.
