For winning both the Pocono and Bristol, Brad Keselowski has been nominated for the United States Sports Academy's August male Athlete of the Month.

The public, worldwide voting on the Academy's online ballot can be found in the top center box on our homepage (www.ussa.edu) or visit http://ussa.edu/ballots/athlete-of-the-month. Voting ends at noon Tuesday, Sept. 13. Please encourage anyone you would like to vote.

Every month, the Academy names a Male and Female Athlete of the Month. The votes along with the Academy’s selection committee choose the winners and they are announced on the Academy’s website and in the online edition of The Sport Update. The winners will be considered as candidates for the 2011 Athlete of the Year ballot.

In December 2011, the Academy will name the Male and Female Athlete of the Year for the 27th consecutive year.  The recipients of this prestigious award are selected annually through worldwide balloting hosted by the Academy in conjunction with USA Today and NBC Sports.

In 2010, the Male Athlete of the Year was Spain’s star football (soccer) player David Villa and the Female Athlete of the Year was South Korea’s number one figure skater Yuna Kim. Both of these individuals dominated 2010’s ballot, receiving more than 12 votes per second from across the world.
