In the high-octane world of NASCAR, where speed and strategy collide, a new powerhouse is emerging from the exhaust. A team and drivers that are not just shaking the pavement but sending shockwaves through the racing community. Led by the formidable Brad Keselowski, it is not your ordinary team; it’s a symphony of passion overtaking the daunting team of Roger Penske.

In a recent episode of the ‘J.C.’s Garage’ Podcast featuring JC Fickenscher and David Styles, insightful revelations emerged about the standout performers within the Ford racing teams, especially RFK, with an interesting comparison to billionaire Roger Penske’s efforts.

Unmasking the Upstart: Brad Keselowski’s Ford revolution

David Styles pointed out a noteworthy observation from the finishing order as the conversation unfolded. Both Ryan Blaney’s and Joey Logano’s return to the top ten was highlighted as a positive development after a dry spell. However, the spotlight shifted to Chris Buscher, who continued leading the Fords for another week, sparking discussions around the RFK group’s remarkable performance.

“I think that our point to be said is that Chris Buscher and Brad Keselowski in the RFK group have probably been the best Fords all year round win. They have a driver with two wins in a driver with none, but they have been so consistent compared to Penske, and I think Penske’s have been the best for the team, the leading team for the past forever since they ever switched.” 

“I think RFK kind of reeling them back in there pretty even now with Roger Penske team uh… is a big thing to talk about, and fords just overall haven’t been great, but this past month we could say they’ve been solid they’ve been in the mix uh… a couple wins, but you know get those wins, and then there’s not a forward until you get to 12th or 13th place.” 

As RFK ascends, the landscape around them changes – and not constantly for the better. Ford’s once-dominant teams, like Team Penske and Stewart-Haas Racing, grapple with disappointment. Champions reduced to contenders, these giants stumble as RFK soars.

In a bold move that would make any gearhead’s heart race, the No. 6 Ford Mustang driver shifted gears from the roaring stables of the Roger Penske team to the rejuvenated grounds of Roush Fenway. Speculation echoed through the racing circles, wondering if this was a calculated risk or a desperate play. Little did they know that Keselowski was about to rebrand the very essence of RFK.

Timing is everything, they say, and Brad Keselowski’s arrival at RFK synchronized perfectly with the introduction of the Next Gen car. A seismic shift that shook the very foundation of NASCAR operations, this change wasn’t just embraced by RFK; it was seized upon.

Before the 2020 Coca-Cola 600 winner’s co-ownership, the team’s victories seemed to be relics of a bygone era. Still, with him in the driver’s seat of leadership, RFK roared back to life. Wins on tracks that once eluded them became a reality, rejuvenating the team’s legacy.
