NASCAR driver Brad Keselowski, the 2012 NASCAR Cup Series champion and co-owner of RFK Racing, has issued a statement on social media calling out false claims.
Brad is a legacy racer, his passion for racing having been passed down from his father Bob Keselowski. He first began to work in his family's race shop. His first racing experience was in the ARCA Racing Series, where he refined his skills. This helped him later on as he was praised for his strategy and technical mindset in guiding the vehicle. Brad burst onto the scene in 2008 when he won an Xfinity Series race and gained prominence amongst NASCAR racers.
He has hilariously called out misinformation about his height on social media. The post on X showed stats of heights of different racers competing in the 2025 NASCAR Cup Series. He wrote on X:
"Funny story: Someone put my height in Wikipedia as 5-10” around 2009. Despite being 6’ tall and correcting this several times over the last 15 years, it always comes back 5-10” A reminder to not always trust the internet"
Brad said his goal for the next season would be to grow his team RFK Racing.
“If you’re not growing, you’re dying in this sport, and we’re growing,” Keselowski said, via NASCAR. “We’re adding people, adding teams, making key investments. It’s an exciting time for me. You know, ’23 versus ’24 looks really similar, but I’m keen to say that ’25 should be a step up for us.”
After developing his driving resume with Team Penske for a decade, Keselowski decided to join RFK Racing in 2021 as a driver-owner. His desire to have his team was to broaden his ambition and involvement in NASCAR and also add his viewpoint to the decision-making of the team.
The change in having Keselowski as a team owner improved the team's performance as they won their first Cup Series. They have also made technological improvements in their vehicle operations.
Technological advancements of RFK Racing
RFK Racing is unique in its capabilities of providing new technological innovations to NASCAR. It originally began in 1988 founded by Jack Roush, who himself was an automobile engineer who was fond of building cars for competitive racing. He had technical knowledge and brought aerodynamics to vehicles and developed high-performing cars for racing. An example of this is their vehicles in the early 2000s implementing (CFD) Computational Fluid Dynamics that focused on airflow in the race car to help it increase speed.
Due to this edge in technology, RFK has quickly found success and made it to the NASCAR Cup Series and has become one of the most successful teams in NASCAR history, securing 143 Cup Series wins. Ford Mustang has partnered with RFK, helping their racecars with high-performing engines. This improves the vehicles' fuel efficiency and makes them more reliable.
