Brad Keselowski reveals what his favorite part of being a NASCAR owner

The 40-year-old Rochester Hills, Michigan, native reflected on his appreciation for the control and decision-making authority that comes with being a NASCAR team owner, contrasting it with the limitations he faced as just a driver.

In the episode of Dirt Mo Media of Business of Motorsports with Dale Earnhardt’s daughter, Keselowski said:

“There's a little bit of the control freak that I think we all have where you're like, Man, we were missing this one piece; I knew how to get it. Couldn't do it because I didn't have the, you know, authority and command authority to do it. So I like that part of being an owner. That excites me. I love Kelley, [that] is my favorite part of being a team owner.”

The 2025 NASCAR Cup Series season will mark Brad Keselowski’s fourth season as co-owner and driver of RFK Racing. He will race alongside his teammates Chris Buescher’s #17 Ford and Ryan Preece’s #60 Ford.
