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 Series Awards hosted by “America’s Got
Talent” judge Howie Mandel at Wynn Las Vegas. SPEED, Motor Racing
