Brad Keselowski made a lucky fan’s day during an autograph signing at the Roush Automotive Collection Open House on Friday.

The former NASCAR Cup Series champion received a unique autograph request — a prosthetic leg. It was even Keselowski themed, with his No. 6 adorning the prosthetic. We’re willing to bet it’s the first time Keselowski has seen that.

When asked by the fan, the answer from Keselowski was an easy one, as he immediately went to work after admiring the prosthetic. Check out the video below, shared to X (formerly known as Twitter) by RFK Racing on Saturday morning.

As you can see, Jack Roush even got in on the fun, adding his legendary signature to the prosthetic leg, as well. After all the signatures, the fan said he’s “going to be the talk of the town,” which is certainly true after the distinctive moment with the RFK team.

Now, it’s up to Brad Keselowski to make his fans proud with his first victory in 26 attempts at Michigan International Speedway. He’s come close, finishing as the runner-up three times, so perhaps this is the moment that pushes him over the edge and into Victory Lane on Sunday.

Report: RFK Racing to acquire Kroger sponsorship for 2025 season

In other RFK Racing news, the organization is on track to team up with Kroger for the 2025 NASCAR Cup Series season. 

According to the Sports Business Journal, the racing team is set to acquire the Kroger sponsorship after the Cincinnati-based company talked to teams in NASCAR about a move. Kroger has been with JTG Daughtery Racing for over a decade.

JTG is going through an ownership shakeup, which could include majority owner Tad Geschickter leaving after this season.

The deal would reunite Kroger with RFK driver Chris Buescher, who competed in Kroger colors from 2017 to 2019. It’s not clear how the sponsorship would work since RFK has Buescher and Brad Keselowski and the drivers have multiple sponsors. 

In a statement to Sports Business Journal, Kroger Co. said: “We continue to remain focused on the 2024 season and are looking forward to seeing [JTG driver Ricky Stenhouse Jr.] and the Kroger Camaro make the playoffs. There are no additional comments to share at this time.”

If the deal is confirmed, could RFK Racing be in play for a third charter? Sports Business Journal said RFK could work out a lease agreement to get a third charger for next year if the new charter agreement continues to include the leasing option.
