"I don't want to take your job"- Brad Keselowski rules out replicating Denny Hamlin and Dale Earnhardt Jr.’s example of extra-curricular activity

Brad Keselowski has unfurled his thoughts on emulating and hosting a podcast series like Dale Earnhardt Jr., Denny Hamlin, and Kevin Harvick, among other NASCAR drivers. The RFK Racing driver ruled out his inclination to do the extra-curricular activity and revealed what he would choose instead.

For over a decade, the motorsports industry has witnessed an influx of drivers and insiders hosting a podcast series wherein they discuss the developments in the sport and the in-race happenings, among a plethora of related topics. In 2013, Dale Earnhardt Jr. founded 'Dirty Mo Media' to bridge the gap of direct-to-consumer interaction with the fans.

Since then, several podcast series like Denny Hamlin's 'Actions Detrimental,' Corey LaJoie's 'Stacking Pennies,' Jeff Gluck's 'Teardown,' and Brett Griffin and Freddie Kraft's 'Door Bumper Clear,' function under Dirty Mo Media's banner. Additionally, recently retired driver Kevin Harvick has his own podcast series, 'Harvick's Happy Hour.'

As a result, during a pre-race presser in Nashville, Brad Keselowski was asked if he would have his own podcast series someday, but the Michigan native didn't seem fond of the idea.

"I hope not. The world needs is to doesn't need to hear any more from me. I got my hands full and I enjoyed the role I was able to play with Fox for a handful of years being on RaceHub and so forth but I want you guys to do that. That's your job I don't want to take your job," Keselowski said via Frontstretch on X (1.23).

Speaking about his career after retiring from the sport, the RFK Racing driver added:

"I hope I'm busy with owning the team and doing all those things to be successful but you never know where the world's going to take you."

Brad Keselowski opens up on how he resurrected RFK Racing's on-track game

Until the 2014 Cup Series season, Roush Fenway Racing had only two winless seasons since the team's debut in 1988. However, the team couldn't rake in a single win during the 2015 and 2016 seasons. The team brought two wins in 2017, only to witness four consecutive years without a triumph.

In 2021, Brad Keselowski signed with the team, and as an owner and driver, the team became Roush Fenway Keselowski Racing. In his debut year with the new team, the Michigan native couldn't help his co-owned venture collect a win, but from the three seasons including the current one, RFK Racing hasn't witnessed a winless year.

Moreover, per the latest rankings, both Brad Keselowski and Chris Buescher are eligible for the Round of 16 playoffs. The former holds 10th place in the regular season standings while the latter is in 13th place.

The revitalization of the team prompted the Frontstretch reporter to ask Keselowski which factor helped him achieve the fate. The #6 Ford driver replied, saying:

"There's a lot of factors it's hard to pick one. I mean they all kind of aggregate into a result. What you see on any given Sunday is the combination of the ownership structure and it's commitment and vision," Keselowski said. (3.20)

"You take out any one of those pieces and it falls like a house of cards," he added. (3.46)

Brad Keselowski will kick off his 300-lap run from the fifth place on the grid today at 3.30 pm ET.
