Quote:CONCORD, N.C. (AP)—Hendrick Motorsports will enter Brad Keselowski in two Sprint Cup Series races this season to test him for NASCAR’s top level.
The 24-year-old will try to qualify a fifth Hendrick entry, the No. 25 Chevrolet, at Lowe’s Motor Speedway next month and at Texas Motor Speedway in November. Hendrick is allowed to enter a fifth car under a NASCAR rule that permits teams to use a rookie in up to seven races in a car that exceeds the current four-car cap.
“We’ve gotten a glimpse of what Brad is capable of in the Nationwide Series, and that’s just scratching the surface,” Rick Hendrick said Monday. “He has a load of talent and potential, and we’re excited to give him an opportunity at the next level.”
Keselowski is third in the Nationwide Series standings with two victories, 10 top-five finishes and 16 top-10s driving for JR Motorsports. The team is co-owned by Hendrick and Dale Earnhardt Jr.
Keselowski will participate in this week’s two-day open test at Lowe’s to prepare for the debut race. Lance McGrew, one of Hendrick’s veteran crew chiefs, will lead the effort.
