Keselowski Cleared for Daytona 500 After Broken Leg

Brad Keselowski has received clearance to participate in the Daytona 500, nearly two months after sustaining a broken right leg. The injury occurred in mid-December when he slipped on ice during a family ski vacation. Keselowski underwent surgery following the incident and had consistently expressed his belief in returning for the season's opening race. His readiness was confirmed after he successfully passed a driving test at Charlotte Motor Speedway on Monday. This allows him to drive the No. 6 Ford for RFK Racing. Keselowski shared his gratitude for the support he received from his family, team, medical professionals, and fans during his recovery. Corey Lajoie had previously filled in for Keselowski during the exhibition Clash race. The 2012 Cup Series champion, Keselowski is preparing for his 17th full season at NASCAR's top level and seeks his first Daytona 500 victory.
