Brad Keselowski and Kelli Stavast have a little fun in Michigan with a 1901 Ford Sweepstakes Car, the model that helped Henry Ford start the Ford Motor Company.

In one of the coolest features we’ve ever had on NASCAR America, NASCAR Cup star Brad Keselowski and NASCAR America’s Kelli Stavast took a step -- a big step, that is -- in time.

The pair took a ride around Michigan International Speedway in a 1901 Ford Sweepstakes Car, that in its day got up to a “fast” speed of 70 mph. It also was the model that helped Henry Ford start the Ford Motor Company.

Keselowski and Stavast did their parts, dressing in 1901-era clothing. Check out what racing may have looked like 116 years ago by checking out the video above.
