Members of the National
Motorsports Press Association have selected NASCAR Sprint Cup driver Brad
Keselowski as the third quarter winner of the NMPA Speedway Motorsports Spirit
Award.
The award is designed to
recognize character and achievement in the face of adversity, sportsmanship and
contributions to motorsports. Each year, quarterly winners are selected, and an
overall winner is determined by a vote of the National Motorsports Press
Association membership.
Keselowski was recognized
for work through his Checkered Flag Foundation, which awarded grants to a
series of entities, including Blum’s Landing, a retreat that provides veterans
the opportunity to enjoy serene woods, lakes and rivers surrounding the bed and
breakfast while recovering from the stress of combat, Rivers of Recovery and
K9s for Veterans, this quarter.
Clint Bowyer won the award
for the first quarter and Rockingham Speedway President Andy Hillenburg
won the second quarter award.
Also receiving votes were:
Ryan Newman, Dale Earnhardt Jr., and Jeff Gordon.
