In honor of Brad Keselowski's recent win on a broken ankle, we take a look back at some other triumphs over injury in Nascar's history.
1953--Tim Flock wins easily at Hickory Motor Speedway despite the notable detriment of having a monkey in the car with him.
1965--That guy at the end of the bar sees Ned Jarrett win a race at Darlington despite having three broken legs and missing an arm, because drivers were tougher back then.
1983--Richard Petty wins at Charlotte after his brother callously puts an oversized engine in the car, which Richard knew absolutely nothing about whatsoever.
1990--Even though he is obviously too sexy for his car, too sexy for his firesuit, and too sexy for his sponsors, Derrike Cope wins twice.
1999--Despite an undiagnosed pinched nerve, Dale Earnhardt Sr. is able to fight through the pain to spin out Terry Labonte at Bristol.
2006-2010--Jimmie Johnson puts a stranglehold on Nascar's championship despite having been born without sweat glands.
