NASCAR Champion Keselowski’s RFK Exit Creates A Very Interesting Problem
Brad Keselowski is leaving the No. 6 Ford after five seasons. The curious part? He still owns part of the team, making this NASCAR breakup rather unusual.
Brad Keselowski, the 2012 NASCAR Cup champion, has announced his decision to step away from driving the No. 6 car at the end of this season. This announcement came as a surprise, given that Keselowski co-owns the team, which is now known as Roush Fenway Keselowski Racing (RFK Racing). Chip Bowers, president of RFK Racing, praised Keselowski for his impact on the organization, both on and off the track.
Keselowski's decision to leave his ride is not uncommon in NASCAR, but the fact that he is also a co-owner adds an interesting twist to the situation. Keselowski previously switched from Team Penske to Roush Fenway Racing in 2021, where he won his second NASCAR Cup championship. However, despite his efforts and the investment from sports investor John W. Henry, RFK Racing has struggled to find consistent success.
With several races still left in the season, it remains to be seen where Keselowski will go next and what will happen to RFK Racing when one of its owners is no longer driving its most recognizable car.
