Brad Keselowski, the co-owner of RFK Racing, has openly expressed his frustration regarding the team’s lack of success in the NASCAR Cup Series. Despite promising performances, the team has yet to secure a victory this season. So far, Keselowski has only managed to finish as the top driver for his team on two occasions out of 17 races.
Heading into the upcoming race at Atlanta, there have been some encouraging signs. All three RFK Racing drivers have managed to place in the top 10 during their last two races, which offers a glimmer of hope for the team’s playoff aspirations. Currently, Chris Buescher is positioned above the playoff cut line, although only by a narrow 38 points. His teammate, Ryan Preece, is facing a tougher challenge, situated 20 points below the cut line. Meanwhile, Keselowski is eager for a victory, as he aims to qualify for the post-season for the third consecutive year.
Addressing the media before the Atlanta race, Keselowski stated that while it has been frustrating not to translate strong performances into wins, he remains optimistic about the team’s potential. He emphasized that despite their recent struggles, the team has exhibited consistent signs of improvement. “We want wins,” he declared, noting that top-10 finishes do not offer any bonus in the current racing format. He acknowledged the challenges but remained hopeful about the team’s ability to capitalize on their performances moving forward.
This situation underscores the unpredictable nature of racing and the relentless pursuit of success that defines the sport. Despite the current disappointments, the potential for positive outcomes remains, as Keselowski and RFK Racing continue to strive for their first victory of the season.
