Brad Keselowski delivers a heartfelt Christmas message to NASCAR fans: “In times of pain, joy”

NASCAR Cup Series driver Brad Keselowski recently dropped a heartfelt Christmas message for his fans. He did so by sharing a picture that encapsulated hidden experiences, from grief and loneliness to healing, behind the festive lights.

Keselowski had a tough time during this holiday season. He broke his leg while on a ski trip with his family on Thursday, December 18, 2025. Moreover, his struggles didn't end there, and the RFK Racing driver underwent successful surgery due to the injury. The 41-year-old NASCAR veteran aims to get back on his feet before the 2026 Daytona 500.

Following his injury, Brad Keselowski shared an X post with an image of a suburban street with Christmas lights everywhere. But each house had a poignant phrase written over it, hidden behind the festive spirit. Reflecting on that, the #6 Ford Mustang Dark Horse driver captioned the image with a heartfelt note lifting his fans' spirits. He stated:

"Merry Christmas everybody! Whether in times of pain, joy or maybe even a little of both at the same time, I pray you may know and feel “The wonders of his love” ❤️"

Brad Keselowski qualified 16th for the Daytona 500, held on February 16, 2025. He completed the 2.5-mile track with a best time of 49.55 seconds, reaching a top speed of 181.65 mph. However, he wrapped the event outside of the top 20 drivers on the grid in P26, ahead of fellow Ford driver Todd Gilliland.

When Brad Keselowski surprised the children at McLeod Hospital by making an unannounced visit

In April 2025, Roush-Fenway-Keselowski Racing driver Brad Keselowski went to the McLeod Children's Hospital in Florence, South Carolina. The former Cup Series champion had an interaction session with the kids, hospital staff, and parents to lift their spirits.

During his interaction session with the kids in the hospital facility, Keselowski also handed out die-cast cars to them along with his autograph. He then specially visited a five-year-old boy, Ralph Monroe.

The RFK Racing driver sat on the floor with him in the playroom, building wooden play blocks together. Later, the five-year-old broke it down by driving a car through it. Reflecting on that, Monroe's mother stated:

"I think this is exciting. We’ve been here for a couple of days, but as soon as they told us Brad [Keselowski] was coming, it kind of perked up his spirits, and that’s really great for the kids."

Brad Keselowski also met Aidan Lyerly, who was admitted for his third surgery. Following that, Lyerly's mother told the press:

“It’s very touching that somebody of [Keselowski’s] stature would take the time to come see us. You look at the world and sometimes think it’s full of yucky stuff, but we as a family have been reminded through these past few months that there are good people, and God shows us his blessings through them."

After wrapping up his visit, the Cup Series driver competed in NASCAR's Throwback Weekend race at Darlington Raceway held on April 6, 2025. Keselowski qualified 20th for the 297-lap race and finished in P33 behind Carson Hocevar.
