Keselowski scraping Daytona 500 details together

[February 19, 2011]  DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. (AP) -- Brian Keselowski has a long list of things he must get done before the Daytona 500.

He needs crew members, new car parts and hotel rooms for his five-member team.

It was all just minor details to him Friday, a day after he used help from little brother Brad to earn a spot in his first Daytona 500.

Brian Keselowski has become the feel good story of SpeedWeeks, with an underdog tale of scraping his way into NASCAR's biggest show with a six-year-old race car.

He's received offers of help since qualifying for the 500, and may even have a sponsor lined up for Sunday.
