All-Time Gallery: The 10 NASCAR Race Winners from Michigan

Michigan has the Motor City, and it also has 10 drivers from the state who have one NASCAR races on the national level. The list includes one future NASCAR Hall of Famer in Brad Keselowski and his dad Bob, who has a Truck Series win to his credit.

Here's a look at 10:

Bob made 86 starts in the Truck Series from 1995-99 and won at Richmond in 1997. He also started a Cup Series race at Pocono in 1994.

Keselowski was on of the ARCA Series best drivers from the 1980s and '90s, winning the championship in 1989 and finishing runner-up in the championship in 1988, 1990, 1992 and 1993.
