This particular picture showed Bob giving his son a little help while teaching him to drive. According to the RFK Racing driver, the photograph was taken around 1990. Moving to the present, he revealed that the family is preparing for the funeral and it was great to find such mementos.

It is no secret that Bob Keselowski had a lot of influence on the RFK driver. This was especially evident in the early stages of his career. So, losing not just a father figure, but one of his biggest supporters in the NASCAR arena, was pretty painful. What better way to pay tribute to the late Keselowski patriarch than to gun for a second Cup Series title?
