MACKINAC ISLAND -- Mackinac Island allows operation of motorized vehicles under very limited circumstances, and display of the car driven by a NASCAR champion is not one of them.

Since the racer couldn’t be driven to its display at the Grand Hotel tea garden (because of the ban and because display cars don’t have engines), the only option was to tow it behind horses, the same way other motorized vehicles are moved around the island.

But in this case, there was a hitch: Brad Keselowski is sponsored by Miller. Pictures of the car being towed behind a team of horses (mascot of rival Budweiser) were out of the question.

So the car was snuck in under heavy cover and made its way back to the ferry docks the same way.
