Brad Keselowski’s daughter takes American flag from victory celebration to school

Scarlett Keselowski is a proud daughter today after her dad Brad Keselowski broke his 110-race winless streak at Darlington. The NASCAR driver’s oldest daughter took the American flag he used in his celebration to school with her today.

Brad Keselowski finally got that monkey off his back and put his car back in Victory Lane. It had been just over three years since his last victory which was at Talladega in 2021. This win was full of drama, too.

All of those emotions for Keselowski and finally getting to pull the American flag out to celebrate like he always does – it makes quite an impression.

Paige Keselowski showed her daughter walking to school with the flag proudly in her hand.

NASCAR is a family sport at the end of the day. It is great to see Brad Keselowski able to celebrate with his family on Sunday and then a little bit more on Monday. After going 110 races without a win, he can enjoy this one a little longer.

Brad Keselowski waited for his moment and took it

The end of the Goodyear 400 was great. Tyler Reddick, Brad Keselowski, and Chris Buescher battling it out for the win. When Reddick was trailing Buescher, it was clear what Keselowski’s plan of action would be. Wait.

Reddick is an aggressive driver. If he has a chance to win, he will take it. Or he will at least try to take it. This time around, the 45 almost made it, but couldn’t get clear of Buescher. The two ended up colliding and both got flat tires.

That exact move didn’t need to happen, but Keselowski was going to respond when Reddick made a move regardless. Reddick probably could have waited a few more laps as it was more or less clear that he was quicker than Buescher. However, Keselowski was coming on stronger the longer the run went on.

Brad Keselowski responded when the 45 and 17 hit and didn’t look back. Three years of frustration and it is finally over. Will this unlock vintage Keselowski, the championship contender?
