Brad Keselowski continues his rehabilitation after suffering a broken femur, with his participation in the upcoming Circuit of The Americas (COTA) NASCAR event still up in the air. The Brad Keselowski injury update is closely watched as racing fans look ahead to both COTA and the Atlanta race.
Keselowski Focuses on Recovery Following Surgery
Brad Keselowski, who drives and co-owns RFK Racing, is taking his comeback one race at a time after injuring his right femur on December 18 during a family ski trip. Following surgery and ongoing physical therapy, Keselowski has gradually been regaining strength but isn’t making any predictions about his immediate racing schedule.
“I’m going to get through this weekend and see how it goes before making a decision on (Circuit of The Americas),”
Keselowski said on Saturday.
“But I’m feeling good for Atlanta.”
Backup Plans in Place for COTA
In case Keselowski cannot participate in the first road course event of the season at Circuit of The Americas in Austin, Texas, Joey Hand is set to serve as his backup driver. Hand brings impressive credentials with victories at the 24 Hours of Le Mans, Daytona, and the 12 Hours of Sebring, making him a reliable substitute for RFK Racing.
Uncertainty Ahead for RFK Racing
With the first road course event fast approaching and Keselowski’s status still uncertain, RFK Racing remains adaptable, ensuring a strong presence regardless of who is behind the wheel. Fans and the NASCAR community will be watching closely to see whether Keselowski will be cleared for COTA or if Joey Hand will step in to compete in the pivotal Austin race.
