Brad Keselowski does not want to ‘leave the sport behind’
The 36-year-old stated, “I know there will be a day when I can’t be a race-car driver anymore. That’s the bittersweet day that’s in front of me. And when that day comes, I don’t want to just leave the sport behind.”

He continued, “I would like to still be able to have a reason to come to a race track other than just to watch. What that will be in the future, I don’t know. I can’t sit here today and say that I have that answer.”
