7/26/08 – Bradshaw Medical Inc. sponsors their first team at the NASCAR Nationwide Series / O’Reilly Raceway Park in Indianapolis.

“Trackside 1 Nationwide Series Teams:
 
#92 Keselowski Automotive Dodge sponsored by Bradshaw Medical, Inc. driven by Brian Keselowski — qualified 30th and finished the race a season best 15th.  Bradshaw Medical provides strategic sourcing for the orthopaedic industry by providing specialized design and development of OEM spinal and surgical instruments. Keselowski was late for the drivers meeting and had to start the race from the back of the field. He marched impressively through the field claiming the 25th spot on lap 95 while still on the lead lap. However, due to the long green flag run, Kyle Busch caught Brian and put him a lap down on lap 96. Continuing to charge hard, two cautions later on lap 120 Brian was the first car one lap down and earned the "lucky dog" putting him back on the lead lap. That was the spark he needed as Brian continued the march up the charts moving as high as 13th with just 12 laps to go. A hard charging Carl Edwards (who was three laps down and earned 2 laps back by passing the leader after two cautions finally earned the "lucky dog" with just 22 laps left in the race) and Bobby Hamilton, Jr. worked their way past Brian in the final 5 laps.

Special thanks to our newest Sponsor Bradshaw Medical. They joined us as our primary sponsor on the #92 Bradshaw Medical Dodge driven by Brian Keselowski at O'Reilly Raceway Park.  Their sponsorship brought us a season best 15th place finish  Thanks Guy!”
