What now for Brad Keselowski and RFK Racing with impending split?
To hear RFK Racing president Chip Bowers articulate it, Brad Keselowski simply wanted to keep racing more than he wanted to focus on his ownership duties with a focus on competition matters, leading to the surprise split announced this week. Both Bowers and Keselowski met with the media on Saturday at Las Vegas Motor Speedway but the 2012 Cup Series champion largely offered several no comments…
RFK Racing president Chip Bowers explained that driver Brad Keselowski wanted to focus more on his racing career rather than his ownership duties. Bowers noted that Keselowski aimed for a five-year-plus span as a driver and applauded his ambition. However, RFK Racing wanted Keselowski to focus more on competition duties over the next three years.
Bowers expressed surprise that they couldn't reach an agreement on the competition side, and the split led to a domino effect for the organization. Keselowski is open to driving for any team, including a Truck Series championship, but hasn't signed a contract for the next season. RFK Racing will need to find a new driver for the No. 6 car and competently direct its competition.
