Is there any other NASCAR driver who is as positive and cheerful as Brad Keselowski is? The Roush Fenway Keselowski Racing driver-owner has been through a lot this season, to say the least.
Yet his character still radiates positivity.

“Brad Keselowski looks like Eli Manning’s cousin,” the tweet read.
But even this, something that was supposed to come off as insulting or mean in the very least, Keselowski converted into a compliment for himself.
“What? So I’ve won two Super Bowl titles? Yeah! Go with that. That’s a great one, thanks for the compliment,” he reacted.

“We’ve had probably two or three races where we’ve been close to it, and that’s not near enough,” the RFK driver-owner described. “We’ve got to push, and we’ve got to find that next level.”
