Day Four: 2012 NASCAR Sprint Cup Champion Keselowski Savors Success
Champion’s Week Whirlwind Of Activity Culminates With Friday’s Awards Show
DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. (Nov. 30, 2012) – Brad Keselowski was all smiles
Friday as he gathered with his Penske Racing family – tuxedo-clad – for the traditional NASCAR Sprint Cup championship photos.
After
a whirlwind of post-Homestead-Miami Speedway appearances stretching
south to north, east to west and culminating with Champion’s Week in Las
Vegas, the magnitude of what Keselowski, owner Roger Penske, crew chief
Paul Wolfe and the entire Penske organization had accomplished.
“I’ve enjoyed every second of my time in Vegas,” Keselowski said. “It was tough to really sit back and realize
how special this opportunity is. Because of that, now I really want to come back next year and do it all again.
“The fans have been amazing this week. I can’t believe how many came out to celebrate this week with me.
It’s special how passionate our fans are, and I’m proud to be a part of all of it for them.”
Wolfe especially enjoyed Tuesday’s tour of various Las Vegas landmarks such as the
Welcome
To Las Vegas sign, the set of Beatles LOVE at The Mirage and the House
of Blues Foundation Room at Mandalay Bay. To view and download those

“There was a lot to take in. It seemed like we were non-stop on the go. I tried to take it all in and enjoy
it,” said the championship crew chief.
The
week’s highlights included the champion’s media tour, participation by
all 12 Chase for the NASCAR Sprint
Cup™ qualifiers in Wednesday’s game-show style “Smarter Than A Fifth
Grader” at the Fremont Street Experience and Thursday’s annual
NASCAR/NMPA Myers Brothers Luncheon during which Keselowski received the
Goodyear Tires and Sunoco Diamond Performance awards.
Thursday’s
traditional Victory Lap during which NASCAR Sprint Cup stock cars
performed burnouts on the famed
Las Vegas Boulevard and the NASCAR After the Lap Sponsored by Ford and
Coca-Cola wrapped the lead-up to Friday night’s 2012 NASCAR Sprint Cup
