NASCAR Rumors: Next Gen car control arm supplier expected to exit, Roush Manufacturing to take over in 2025

Recent NASCAR rumors suggest that Visser Precision, the control arm supplier for Next Gen Cars, is reportedly stepping away from producing the control arms for the Next Gen cars after this season.

Meanwhile, Roush Manufacturing, which produces some components for the Next Gen car, is likely to take over the production of control arms in 2025. Since the debut of the Next-Gen car in 2022, Roush Manufacturing has made several parts like anti-roll bars, shifters and transaxle mounts. The company is now expected to expand its role within NASCAR.

According to an Instagram page called NASCAR Rumors and Nostalgia:

“For those that care, I hear that the Next Gen control arm manufacturer, Visser Precision (owned by Furniture Row Racing owner Barney Visser), is getting out of NASCAR, and Roush Manufacturing will take over, I assume starting in 2025. Roush already makes some components for the car.”

However, there hasn't been official anything about Visser Precision’s exit in NASCAR, and there hasn't been much specific information about the reason behind their exit as a control arm manufacturer, if the aforementioned rumor is true.

Visser Precision, the company owned by Furniture Row Racing owner Barney Visser, has played an integral role since Next-Gen cars debuted in 2022.

If this rumor turns out to be true, this shift could lead to significant changes for teams to adapt new suppliers’ parts, which are crucial for suspension and handling performance.

Roush Fenway Keselowski Racing has grown in last two years in NASCAR

There’s no doubt that RFK Racing has shown significant growth in Cup Series in the last couple of years, especially since Brad Keselowski joined the team as driver/co-owner in 2022.

Under Keselowski’s tenure, the team has improved their results, with Keselowski and his teammate Chris Buescher delivering better results on the track. Last year, Buescher had a breakout season, securing a career-high three wins and finishing seventh in the championship standings. Keselowski, meanwhile, showed greater consistency, ending the season in eighth place.

Coming to RFK Racing’s performance in 2024, Keselowski has reached victory lane at Darlington but couldn’t advance to the Round of 12. Chris Buescher spoiled the hopes of payoff drivers in the second playoff race at Watkins Glen International as he ended his year-long winless streak.
