RFK Racing, co-owned by Brad Keselowski, has been a standout presence on the race track, with both Keselowski and Chris Buescher showcasing exceptional performances behind the wheel of their Ford Mustangs.
Despite their consistent presence at the front of the pack, securing a victory has remained elusive this season, with three runner-up finishes falling short of converting into a win. The recent race at Kansas, marked by the closest finish in NASCAR history, exemplifies the team’s relentless pursuit of victory.

As the leader of the team, Brad Keselowski’s management style has drawn praise from Chris Buescher, who highlighted Keselowski’s ability to balance family commitments with his role as a team owner and driver.
In an episode of the Dale Jr Download, Chris Buescher acknowledged the team’s success on the track and expressed admiration for Keselowski’s dual role within the organization. However, Buescher also candidly admitted that witnessing Keselowski’s responsibilities as a team owner has solidified his own lack of interest in owning a race team in the future, emphasizing the demanding nature of such a role.
