Brad Keselowski isn’t having the day he would’ve wanted at Circuit of the Americas.<\/p>\n

He found himself way near the back of the field as he works his way back from a broken leg.<\/p>\n

The injury isn’t for sure impacting him, but regardless, he won’t be happy with how his day was going.<\/p>\n

What happened to Brad Keselowski?<\/p>\n

On Sunday at COTA, Keselowski had to spend much too long on pit road.<\/p>\n

It sent him pretty much to the back when he returned after an early trip.<\/p>\n

“It’s pretty tight at turn-in on every corner, and then from there it’s like I have too much wheel in it and it really shoots the back out hard on me,” Keselowski said early on his radio<\/a>. “… I’m just really, really struggling here with no grip.”<\/p>\n

Brad Keselowski broken leg injury<\/p>\n

Keselowski broke his right femur in a December 2025 skiing accident.<\/p>\n

The initial reports suggested a six-month recovery.<\/p>\n

Despite that, he was back by the Daytona 500, only a couple months after the injury.<\/p>\n

It doesn’t seem like it would help anything as far as driving goes, though, and maybe it’s hurting Keselowski.<\/p>\n
