Brad Keselowski leaves hospital after surgery to fix broken leg

It’s great to see Brad Keselowski heading home already. A few days to heal up in the hospital and he’s ready to start recovering. The news of Keselowski’s injury came at a highly unfortunate time. He broke his leg the same day that Greg Biffle and his family, along with three friends, died in a plane crash in North Carolina.

RFK Racing handled the situation well. They waited a day and then some to make the announcement. Then, they kept the focus on Biffle and the horrible tragedy that occurred.

Brad Keselowski explains injury, honors Greg Biffle

Following his injury, Brad Keselowski let fans know exactly how it all played out. Again, it was unfortunate timing given the tragic news that happened on the same day. Keselowski explained that and gave a short story about Biffle.

“I broke my leg and was going into surgery when the tragic plane accident happened to Greg and his family,” Brad Keselowski wrote. “Not really sure the words to say, so I’ll share a story. I called Greg a few years ago, telling him my friend really needed a fun trip after losing a family member, could we all go ride his UTV’s together to show my friend a good time? Without missing a beat, he made all the plans & we had a great sand dunes trip, my friend was all smiles. This trip means so much more now… this is my favorite Greg story. Will miss you and your family.”

Brad Keselowski and Greg Biffle raced against each other for a number of years in NASCAR. Of course, Biffle is a Roush legend. He rose up through the ranks with Roush from Trucks, Busch, and finally the Cup Series. Biffle was perhaps the closest to ever winning a championship in all three national series.

All the best to Keselowski on his recovery. The injury doesn’t have to be detrimental to his season, but it could make things more difficult.
