KESELOWSKI MAKES IMPACT WITH 2ND ANNUAL HUNTSMAN EXPERIENCE

Before his arrival at Michigan International Speedway for a weekend of Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series racing in the Irish Hills, Brad Keselowski was busy raising money for a good cause.
​
With NASCAR Salutes in full swing to honor United States military servicemembers past and present, Keselowski and his Checkered Flag Foundation have focused on helping veterans and their families since inception in 2010. On Thursday, Keselowski held his second annual fundraising event at The Huntsman Hunt Club in Dryden, Michigan, benefiting the construction of a brand new Fisher House in Ann Arbor, Michigan.

Keselowski was also accompanied by fellow Ford Performance drivers, including Team Penske teammates Ryan Blaney and Joey Logano and Stewart-Haas Racing’s Aric Almirola.

Had a great time at the @BKCFF event today raising money for a really good cause!

Big thanks to @NetJets for getting my fellow drivers there to enjoy the day. pic.twitter.com/BpL0iSMFA3

Since 1990, the Fisher House Foundation has provided comfort homes for families of veterans receiving treatments, at no cost to the families. There are 76 Fisher Houses located on 24 military installations and at 32 VA medical centers across the nation, but there hasn’t been one established in the state of Michigan.

That was something Keselowski, a Rochester Hills, Michigan, native, wanted to change through his foundation.
​
“It was an incredible event,” said Keselowski. “To be able to hang out with some veterans, but also have a lot of fun, raise some funding and do a site visit for the brand new Fisher House being built in Ann Arbor, Michigan. We want to see one come to the state. There isn’t one in the state, which seems absolutely crazy. It just seems so natural. Hopefully we can get them the funding they need to get going.”
