Brad Keselowski has spent his career chasing checkered flags, but the most important thing he ever won was waiting for him long before he became a NASCAR champion. Paige White grew up in a racing family, studied psychology, and has quietly built a life that balances motherhood, philanthropy, and being the steady presence behind one of the sport’s most intense competitors.
The 2012 Cup Series champion and RFK Racing co-owner married Paige White on February 10, 2017, two months after a storybook proposal involving a horse-drawn carriage. They’ve since built a family of six, welcomed four children, and weathered the kind of health scare that would test any marriage.
Here’s what you need to know about the woman behind Brad Keselowski.
Who Is Paige White?
Paige Keselowski, née White, was born in North Carolina with racing in her blood. Her father, Louis White, was a former stock car driver who introduced her to motorsports at a young age. She graduated from East Carolina University with a degree in psychology and a pre-med minor.
She and Brad began dating in the early 2000s, though they kept the details of their first meeting private. What’s clear is that their shared roots in North Carolina and deep ties to racing made the relationship feel inevitable.
The Proposal and the Wedding
Brad proposed in December 2016 in grand fashion: a horse-drawn carriage, a lake, and a photographer capturing every moment. He later tweeted that the proposal was “more nerve racking than 500 miles @TalladegaSuperS.”
They married on February 10, 2017, with a star-studded guest list that included Danica Patrick and Ricky Stenhouse Jr. Brad posted a wedding video the next day, writing, “Last night will live on forever.”
The Family They Built
The Keselowskis have four children. Their first daughter, Scarlett, was born in May 2015. Their second daughter, Autumn, arrived in 2019. Their first son, Maize, was born in November 2023. Their second son, Sterling Robert, arrived in September 2025.
Scarlett’s birth was a harrowing experience. She had laryngomalacia, a weakness in the throat muscles that was unusually severe. Doctors performed emergency surgery the day after she was born, and Brad later wrote that one doctor warned “she wasn’t going to make it.” The surgery saved her life.
What Paige Does Now
Paige is deeply involved in the Brad Keselowski Checkered Flag Foundation, which honors and assists military veterans and first responders. She helps organize events, does outreach, and keeps the mission front and center.
She’s also active on social media, where she shares glimpses of family life and philanthropic work. On their eighth anniversary in February 2025, she posted a heartfelt message to Brad: “Thank you for loving me and these babies. This crazy beautiful life has been the best thing I’ve been a part of. Happy Anniversary, BK. I love you.”
What Brad Says About Her
Brad has spoken openly about what Paige brings to his life. “I’m the happiest I’ve ever been in my life, and Paige is a very large part of that,” he said. “She’s an amazing person, she’s soft-spoken, well-educated and smart. She’s beautiful, which never hurts. Most importantly, she understands who I am and where I’ve come from in ways that most people wouldn’t know or understand.”
The Bottom Line
Paige Keselowski is more than a NASCAR wife. She’s a psychology graduate, a mother of four, a philanthropist, and the woman who has stood beside Brad through championship celebrations and a daughter’s life-saving surgery.
As Brad navigates the next chapter of his career, one thing remains constant: the family waiting for him at home.
