Overview
- Keselowski passed a Monday driving test at Charlotte Motor Speedway and was cleared to pilot RFK Racing’s No. 6 Ford at Daytona.
- He called the mid-December femur break from a ski trip the worst pain of his life, saying a hacksaw might have felt better.
- He has been using a sponsor-branded cane at Daytona and says getting in and out of the car window is the most difficult task.
- Doctors project roughly six months for full recovery, and he plans to gauge pain tolerance in Thursday’s 60-lap qualifying race.
- Following surgery that placed a titanium insert, he skipped the Clash exhibition and may seek relief help at COTA, with Joey Hand identified as the potential standby.
