Filed under Sprint Cup Series

CONCORD, N.C. (Jan. 16, 2009) – Brad Keselowski will kick off his 2009 NASCAR Sprint Cup Series schedule by attempting to qualify for the March 1 race at Las Vegas Motor Speedway. Hendrick Motorsports this week finalized the Shelby 427 and six other Sprint Cup events for the 24-year-old driver.

It was announced Jan. 7 that Keselowski, a native of Rochester Hills, Mich., will attempt a seven-race Sprint Cup schedule this season for Hendrick Motorsports in the No. 25 GoDaddy.com Chevrolets. The effort will be led by veteran crew chief Lance McGrew.

“It’s exciting to have everything finalized and ready to go for 2009,” said Keselowski, who also will compete full-time in the NASCAR Nationwide Series for JR Motorsports. “We’re going to some tracks where I’m pretty confident, and we’re going to some places where I really need the additional seat time.

“It’s a nice mix of races and a great opportunity for the whole GoDaddy.com team.”
