NASCAR: Brad Kesolowski’s father dies

Bob Keselowski, the father of 2012 NASCAR Cup Series Champion Brad Keselowski and a winning race car driver and team owner in both the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series and ARCA Menards Series, died Wednesday due to complications from cancer. He was 70.

“Bob Keselowski was a true racer whose determination and love of the sport embodied the NASCAR and ARCA spirit,” read a statement by NASCAR. “He worked tirelessly to build his family-owned team, doing whatever it took to compete. Our thoughts are with the Keselowski family during this difficult time.”

My dad will always be my hero. He was quiet and understated, but that didn’t change the impact he had on me or that I watched him have on everyone who knew him. I am forever grateful for what I learned from this man, and I will remember him every day. https://t.co/NiG822YfpD pic.twitter.com/eUZWkPtUEG
