Brad Keselowski is doing everything he can for a chance at another NASCAR championship. No matter how angry he makes other drivers.
The three-time NASCAR champion talked with reporters Monday at his first news conference since a grand jury decided last week not to charge him in Ward's death.
The 13th annual 'Stephen Siller Tunnel To Towers Run' will be held on Sunday. The event started as a grass-roots remembrance and fundraiser named for the FDNY firefighter.
Ward was killed Aug. 9 when a car driven by the three-time NASCAR champion struck and killed him during a dirt track race at Canandaigua Motorsports Park.
"The NFL was a very, very attainable goal," the country music star and former North Carolina Tar Heels linebacker revealed during the exclusive video interview.
A grand jury will decide whether NASCAR driver Tony Stewart will be charged in the August death of a fellow driver at a sprint car race in upstate New York, a prosecutor said Tuesday.
Stewart said he could not answer questions about the incident — it remains under police investigation — and he left the news conference after reading a short statement.
The three-time NASCAR champion has not raced since his car hit Kevin Ward Jr. at an Aug. 9 sprint car event in upstate New York.
NASCAR has added a new rule telling drivers to not approach the track or moving vehicles after accidents. The rule comes less than a week after a driver was struck and killed during a dirt-track race at a small New York track.
Stewart also sat out Sunday at Watkins Glen, a day after he struck and killed Kevin Ward Jr. during a sprint car event in Canandaigua, New York.
Kevin Ward Jr. was remembered as a "small-town boy" who loved his sport during Thursday's funeral for the 20-year-old dirt-track racer whose car was hit by one driven by NASCAR champion Tony Stewart.
"Apparently, Tony Stewart was the only one driving out there who didn't see him," Kevin Ward Sr. said.
"The question over whether someone was reckless is a factual one, and one a prosecutor might let a jury decide," according to criminal law professor Corey Rayburn Yung.
Family and friends will say their final goodbyes this week to the race-car driver who was fatally struck by three-time NASCAR champion Tony Stewart.
Authorities questioned Tony Stewart on Saturday night again Sunday. Ontario County Sheriff Philip Povero said Monday there were no plans "at this time" to talk to him again.
"(Kevin Ward Jr.) put himself in harm's way," well-known criminal defense attorney Joe Tacopina said Monday. "Unfortunately, it's his fault that he's dead. I'll say it."
Investigators were looking into everything from the dim lighting on a portion of the track to how muddy it was, as well as if Kevin Ward's dark firesuit played a role in his death.
Tony Stewart will not race Sunday following the death of a sprint car driver who was struck and killed by Stewart at an upstate New York dirt track.

Some of the best American sporting events worth traveling for are the Daytona 500, the Masters Tournament, the Super Bowl the U.S. Open and the World Series.
In the wake of Jimmie Johnson securing his 6th NASCAR Sprint Cup Series Championship, Donovan McNabb expressed his belief that NASCAR drivers are not true athletes. Is he out of line, or is this type of racing in no way a sport?
Before anyone engraves Johnson's name on the Sprint Cup, a little history lesson is needed. While it has been proven that Johnson can win titles, he has also shown that he can lose them.
