Brad Keselowski, champion of the NASCAR Cup Series in 2012, made a significant change in his career by joining RFK Racing as an owner-driver at the end of the 2021 season. Since becoming part of the team, Keselowski has played a crucial role in its growth and constant progress in the pursuit of reclaiming its former glory. He is accompanied by Chris Buescher, who drives the No.17 car.
Looking to the future, Keselowski has ambitious plans for the team. He intends to transform RFK Racing into a three-car operation, similar to successful teams like Team Penske Racing. However, his aspirations do not stop there. Reports suggest that Keselowski also intends to expand his team’s presence in other racing series, such as IMSA.
During the Sonoma race weekend, Keselowski expressed his team’s interest in becoming a two-car team. However, he emphasized that expansion must be done in a strategic and calculated manner, not just for the sake of growing in size.
Although there are currently four licenses available on the market due to SHR’s decision to cease operations, Keselowski is not in a hurry to make a purchase and expand. He believes that any acquisition must be financially viable and make sense for his team.
The process of acquiring a new license and expanding the team will be intriguing to watch. This depends on all NASCAR teams reaching an agreement on the new license contract, and the outcome of these negotiations will shape RFK Racing’s approach to obtaining a license.
