Brad Keselowski recently lauded an incident from 2006 involving NASCAR, Jeff Bezos, and the latter's space technology company, Blue Origin. With his recent post on the incident, the Roush Fenway Keselowski Racing driver shared his enthusiasm for knowing the backstory behind Blue Origin's connection with NASCAR.
Blue Origin is an American space technology company founded by Bezos, the founder of Amazon, who has a net worth of $209.2 billion (according to forbes). It is a company that works to develop reusable rocket engines, launch vehicles, and in-space systems. In addition to this, they also work to reduce the cost of space access.
Keselowski, from his official X account, quote-tweeted a post from NASCAR journalist Alan Cavanna, involving an incident from 2006 when Bezos visited Roger Penske's team, Team Penske, over his new project, Blue Origin.
In the post, Cavanna wrote:
"Watching @tubi…2006 Martinsville race. @MattYocum gave an interesting mid-race report on Jeff Bezos visiting @Team_Penske to learn more about organization setup and the team’s use of “rocket science. It was for a new project… Blue Origin."
Sharing the post on the micro-blogging site, the RFK Racing driver wrote:
"This story is legendary. I’ve always wanted to know what @JeffBezos learned from that trip."
