The RFK Racing driver grabbed headlines post-race less for his racing and more for his contributions to two major incidents during the race. In the first incident, which took place on lap 41, Keselowski was seen giving then-leader Harrison Burton’s car #21 a shove which ended with the latter spinning down the road.
Speaking of the incident, Keselowski said:
Car #6’s shove of Burton saw the debutant spinning and collecting William Byron’s car #24. The incident also took the cars of Denny Hamlin, Alex Bowman, and Kyle Busch as well, out of contention.

Brad Keselowski’s Daytona 500 performance
Although Brad Keselowski was involved in a pair of separate incidents, the driver managed to salvage his Daytona 500 race and come a respectable 9th. Meanwhile, his team-mate Chris Buescher didn’t make it as well, coming in at 16th.
Both drivers had earlier topped their respective duels on Thursday. Keselowski went fastest in the Bluegreen Vacations Duel 1 starting from 9th position, while Buescher topped the Duel 2 starting from an even lower 14th. Their performance gave Rousch Fenway Keselowski Racing a night of joy, however, that wasn’t to be replicated come Sunday.
