Robert Allen Keselowski (August 1, 1951 – December 22, 2021) was an American professional stock car racing driver. He owned K Automotive Racing and was a competitor in the ARCA Hooters SuperCar Series and the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series.

Racing career

In the ARCA Series, he had 24 wins, 26 poles, and a 1989 championship.

Keselowski was one of the original drivers in the Camping World Truck Series in 1995 when it raced under the name the NASCAR SuperTruck Series.[1] After finishing 15th in the inaugural season, he finished 16th in the second season. Keselowski won his only NASCAR race when he won the 1997 Virginia Is For Lovers 200 at Richmond International Raceway.[1] He competed one more full season and two part-time seasons before his NASCAR career was over.[1]

Personal life

Born to John and Roberta, Bob’s father John, a former motorcycle racer turned owner was Keselowski’s first car owner when he broke into the racing scene. Keselowski's sons Brad and Brian compete in NASCAR. His brother Ron Keselowski raced in NASCAR in the early 1970s and he had been Bob's car owner.

After a two year battle with cancer, Keselowski died on December 22, 2021, at the age of 70.[2] Sean Corr ran the #29 in the 2022 Lucas Oil 200 in honor.
