NASCAR Cup Series driver Brad Keselowski bid farewell to Team Penske in 2021. He was with Team Penske for over a decade but now the 2012 champion will race for the recently rebranded Roush Fenway Keselowski Racing team.
Rebranded because Keselowski not only joins the new team as a driver but also as a team owner.
And the 37-year-old recently shared the ‘progress’ at his new office. Keselowski posted a picture of his new home that was ‘freshly painted’ and had ‘new floors’ installed.

As the next season is approaching, things will begin to take shape in terms of a workplace and the car. Speaking of the car, RFK Racing recently announced a sponsorship for their drivers.
Keselowski will be sponsored by Fastenal for 2022, a company that signed an extension that will run until 2024. RFK Racing shared a render of how the new sponsorship will look on the Next Gen cars on their Twitter account.
2022 looks good on you, @FastenalCompany!
You'll see the blue & black colors on the No. 6 and No. 17 with a brand new look next season!

Brad Keselowski has a different verdict on the Next Gen cars
While many drivers and team members have been critical of the new cars, Brad Keselowski holds a different view. Although he admits the new cars are slower and handle poorly, he believes that’s a ‘good thing’.

“The car is quite a bit slower than the older Cup cars but handles really bad, which I think is a good thing. I think we had fallen into a spot where the Cup cars were driving too well.”
“Now you’ve got to ‘man up’ to drive these cars. They’re not super-fast, but they’re very challenging to drive.”
By all accounts, Brad Keselowski is optimistic about this new chapter in his career. Let’s see if the optimism is rewarded by jubilance in the form of race wins, and who knows, maybe a second Cup Series title in 2022.
