Surgery sidelines Brian Keselowski for two weeks

One of the best stories of Daytona, at least pre-Bayne, was the way Brad Keselowski pushed his brother Brian to a top-five finish in the qualifying race, and thus into the field for the Daytona 500. Since then, Brian Keselowski has had trouble qualifying for Vegas and Phoenix, and now he'll have to wait a little longer, as gall bladder surgery will sideline him for a couple weeks.

Earlier this week, Keselowski went to a hospital because of pain, and doctors diagnosed him with gallstones. Dennis Setzer will step in behind the wheel for the K-Automotive Motorsports car.

In announcing the surgery, Keselowski offered up one of the best quotes of the new year: "I just want this thing out of me so I can get back in my car and race." EBay auction, anyone?

Best wishes for Brian to heal up in a hurry.
