Brad Keselowski revealed Tuesday he intended to fulfill a promise to buy himself a tank if he won the Chase for the Sprint Cup. After hearing a story from NASCAR TV analyst and former driver Wally Dallenbach Jr. about the joys of owning one, Keselowski began researching tanks over the summer. He hasn ‘t decided on a seller yet but wants a model ‘from World War II to the Korean War, something in that ’40s to mid- ’50s era.’ Keselowski, who lives in a house adjacent to Earnhardt’s 200-acre homestead outside Mooresville, N.C., has been trying to convince NASCAR’s most popular driver to buy his own tank. ‘I thought, ‘Wow, that ‘d be awesome, ‘ ‘ the Penske Racing driver said. ‘Obviously living where I do around Dale Jr., I thought it would be cool if we both got a tank and chased each other around in the woods with them. It’s kind of our deal. I promised myself if I won (the title), I would buy one whether Dale does or not. It was kind of a little bit of motivation, I ‘d say. I ‘m not one to buy trophies for myself, but I think a tank would be pretty cool. I want to put one together and have some fun with it. When I ‘m done playing with it, I ‘ll just park it in the driveway.’(USA Today)(11-22-2012)
