The NASCAR off-season is finally here and many drivers are using the time to unwind. Recently, Brad Keselowski took some time away to visit his father, Bob. Apparently, he got a pleasant surprise when he discovered that a few of his friends constructed a ramp for his 70-year-old father.

Admittedly, it isn’t clear what happened to his father, but it seems that he may be confined to a wheelchair. Obviously, a touched Keselowski couldn’t help but be thankful for his friends. He mused, “It is said that tough times don’t last, but tough people do. Perhaps the same can be said for good family friends.”

Now, the 2012 Cup Series champion has closed a chapter in his 12-year stint at Team Penske. With Austin Cindric succeeding him, Keselowski will head to the Roush Fenway Racing team, in place of Ryan Newman. The move makes a load of sense, as he is also the part-owner of the Cup team.

Nevertheless, the Penske team really felt his departure and bid an emotional farewell. Of course, Keselowski will be a little gutted to leave his long-time employers, but will be excited for his new venture.

One thing is for sure, the 37-year-old will be a valuable asset for the outfit. Recently, he paid a visit to the Roush Fenway Racing facilities, to meet the crew that will work on his #6 car. In his speech to the crew, he stressed on working hard for the new season.
