Brad Keselowski posted a blog late Thursday evening indicating that a new driver will be behind the wheel of the No. 29 Brad Keselowski Racing Ford — his brother, Brian.
The elder Keselowski will suit up for next Saturday’s NASCAR Camping World Truck Series race at Talladega Superspeedway (1 p.m. ET, FOX, MRN, SiriusXM). The ride was opened up because the truck’s full-time driver, Austin Theriault, was injured in an accident during the Rhino Linings 350 on Oct. 3 at Las Vegas Motor Speedway.
On short notice, Keselowski kept it close to home.
Excited to announce the newest member of our @TeamBKR truck team, my brother @KeselowskiBrian. My blog on why now: http://t.co/zo1UG9xTIp

Brian was more than thrilled at the notion.
I’ve been waiting most if my life to say this, I get to drive the #29 truck @TalladegaSuperS ! I’m so excited I can hardly stop smiling
