For any NASCAR driver, capturing the Cup Series title is the ultimate achievement, and for Brad Keselowski, it’s a glory he tasted once in 2012. But since then, while he’s come close, the coveted championship has eluded him. His best shot came in 2020, when he finished second, but the road has been rocky ever since.

Now, sitting at P8 in the playoffs, fans are buzzing with anticipation—could this be the year Keselowski makes his triumphant return to the top? The NASCAR community is filled with one burning question: Can he reclaim the crown? But during a recent episode of Dale Jr.’s podcast, they pushed the conversation a bit further, asking Keselowski not just if he’ll win but what he’s willing to do to get there.

When posed with the hypothetical scenario of claiming his second Cup Series title, Keselowski didn’t hesitate—he’d take the deal in a heartbeat. The frank admission revealed the fire still burning in the veteran driver, who’s clearly eager to add another chapter to his storied career. With the playoffs heating up, Keselowski’s hunger for a second title has never been more evident, leaving fans wondering: just how far will he go to seal the deal?

Gene in the bottle for Brad Keselowski

After almost making the Cup Series champion several times, Brad Keselowski prepares for yet another attempt at reclaiming the title. So when Keselowski showed up at Dale Jr.’s podcast, he was asked a hypothetical question: “So let’s say a magical genie comes along and says, ‘Alright, we’ll make you a deal. If you stand on top of a pit road wall, jump off, and land directly on your knees—both knees first, legs behind—but you win, you win the championship. If you’re willing to do this, would you take that deal, or would you just say, you know, a random way to be?'”

Brad Keselowski cleared out the meaning behind the question, saying, “It’s not your question, basically. Would you injure yourself? Basically, you don’t know how bad it would be. I mean, are we talking here worst-case scenario—two dislocated knees, broken knees—but you’re the champion? Yeah, I would take that.” Keselowski revealed the main reason why he would take the deal by saying, “Yeah, there’s enough quality doctors out there that I think you could recover from that.”

To understand how Brad Keselowski would give his acceptance speech, the interviewer reminded the 40-year-old driver that it would have to be done in either a cast or from a wheelchair. To answer the question and progress the interview, Keselowski told the interviewer, “Modern medicine is pretty amazing. I think about this—if it were 150 years ago, I’d be like, ‘Oh, I’ve got an ulcer; I’m dead.’ You know?”

With this, we learn what lengths drivers can go to become a Cup Series champion. While Keselowski is a NASCAR racer, he also has his name on the team he races for. Why is this important? It is because his team, RFK Racing, is interested in running three charters for 2025.

During the NASCAR Playoffs Media Day, Brad Keselowski hinted at RFK Racing running three cars for 2025. Although there is no evidence of this news, Keselowski revealed his intent, and that has been enough for fans to start discussing the possibility.

RFK Racing, currently a two-car team with Keselowski and Chris Buescher, has shown strong performance, winning four races since 2023. The expansion depends on securing key sponsorship, with Kroger potentially being a crucial partner.

So while Keselowski would like to win the title himself, he believes it is in the best interest of the team to expand by one car. So when Bob Pockrass asked him about the team’s plans on expanding, he replied, “Not today, but hopefully soon.”

Because of no progress on this stance, we still are waiting for an official confirmation. Having more cars in a team increases the chances of winning the championship. Considering that, do you think that Keselowski’s plans for a new car will run as a conflict of interest? Or will it be a path to a championship for the team?
