Brad Keselowski kept mum on RFK Racing's potential expansion in 2025. At the end of August, the Ford star implicitly mentioned the possibility of a third car to the team's roster for the upcoming season. However, he did not provide a timeline for that to happen.
RFK Racing has been a two-car team since 2017. However, the team has fielded the No. 60 part-time entry in select races featuring drivers like David Ragan, Cam Waters, and Joey Hand.
Since Brad Keselowski joined the team as a driver and part owner in 2022, fans have been speculating about a third full-time car in the Cup Series. In an interview from last month, the 40-year-old told journalist Bob Pockrass that even if RFK Racing were to field another full-time entry, it could run unchartered.
Check out Keselowski's comments from the interview:
Pockrass interviewed Keselowski yet again at Watkins Glen International, urging the latter to illuminate further on the topic. Keselowski replied,
"I've been honest with you, Bob. I don't know what you want me to tell you."
According to Sports Business Journal's Adam Stern, RFK Racing could likely be a landing spot for a sponsorship from The Kroger Company. Attempting to siphon more information off of Keselowski on the same, Pockrass asked:
"If you go to a supermarket for King's Hawaiian (a sponsor for RFK Racing), which supermarket are you going to buy it at?"
"You can find it at all your local shopping centers, but one may be better than the other," Keselowski replied with a smile.
The 40-year-old driver sits 13th in the Cup Series standings with 2026 points to his name. Ahead of the second race of the Round of 16, he is currently a point behind the elimination line.
Brad Keselowski backs Harrison Burton amid playoff controversies
Brad Keselowski stood by Harrison Burton after the latter faced a considerable backlash from the racing aficionados owing to his jump from P34 on points to the coveted playoff rumble. Burton delivered a last-lap victory over two-time Cup Series champion Kyle Busch at Daytona last month and qualified for the playoffs for the first time in his career.
Per the current format of the playoffs, a driver will automatically earn a playoff berth if he wins a regular season point-paying race. There, several drivers who were placed higher than Burton but did not win a race, failed to make the postseason due to its 'win to get in' format.
Brad Keselowski sent a message to his fellow-Ford driver amid the controversy. He said (via FOX),
"You're a race winner. Make sure you have a ride for the all-star race, whoever that is."
Harrison Burton will be parting ways with Wood Brothers Racing in 2025. Stewart-Haas Racing's Josh Berry will replace him behind the wheel of the No. 21 Mustang. As of now, Burton's plans for the upcoming season are unclear.
