The racing world will be there too, represented in the booth by Brad Keselowski, Team Penske Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series driver, and the John Force Racing Team. Keselowski currently drives Team Penske’s No. 2 Ford Fusion. The John Force Racing Team, National Hot Rod Association drag racing champions, will make a special guest appearance to kick off the show. Keselowski and John Force Team members will be ready to share their racing adventures.
