What’s the best way to interact with NASCAR’s most recent Sprint Cup Series Champion? The answer is simple: make sure to be a part of the Talladega Experience – the ultimate “FAN” hospitality area.
Brad Keselowski, NASCAR Sprint Cup’s reigning champ and defending titlist of the Aaron’s 499, is scheduled to make an appearance at the Talladega Experience on the morning of Sunday, May 5, just prior to the 2013 edition of the always exciting Aaron’s 499 on the famed high banks of the 2.66-mile Talladega Superspeedway.
“I always love coming to Talladega, and it’s a great venue for me to interact with the fans,” said Keselowski, who shocked the world with his first career triumph at Talladega in the Aaron’s 499 in 2009, piloting an unsponsored car. “Talladega will always hold a special place in my heart.

When the money’s on the line, NASCAR’s best drivers better keep their feet on the gas.
