Brad Keselowski's top 10 moments of 2012
Following Brad Keselowski's first NASCAR Sprint Cup title in 2012, Diego Mejia looks at the highlights of the Penske driver's season
1. Daytona 500
Brad Keselowski didn't finish the Daytona 500 after being involved in a multi-car incident on lap 187. He didn't lead a lap in the rain-delayed season-opener either.
Yet he became a trend online with his famous in-race tweets during a red-flag interruption, gaining around 100,000-plus followers that night.
