RFK Racing is certainly riding high with its major turnaround this year. Unlike some of the sport’s bigger and more resourceful teams like Stewart-Haas Racing, the 2-car Ford team has made significant leaps and bounds ever since the veteran Brad Keselowski bought into the team.

To put things in simple perspective, within the span of a month, Keselowski’s driver Chris Buescher went from being a regular Cup Series contender to a championship contender with 3 stellar wins in the last 5 races of the regular season. However, Keselowski seems to be determined to make a positive impact this season.

“#6 never quits” is a moniker that has grown popular in the NASCAR nation. While the RFK Racing co-owner is an undying beacon of hope for Ford fans, the phrase pretty much stands for the veteran’s unwavering and tenacious attitude.

Well, the short answer is yes. He definitely can, he has experience in plenty and a more than a capable car for the job. For one, Brad Keselowski and his #6 Ford have been consistent. Look at the last 3 races at Daytona, Darlington, and Kansas. Keselowski picked up valuable points, finishing inside the top 10. Keselowski even claimed stage 2 of Kansas, acing the 2nd stage being fastest.

Though his teammate Chris Buescher claimed the throne last year, snapping his 222-winless streak here at Bristol and bringing the team to the forefront, Keselowski seems to have something up his sleeve this time. This was evident in his recent tweet, where he wrote, “I’ve had the Bristol night race on my mind since last season….We’ve got unfinished business to take care of. #6NeverQuits”
