Brad asked Penske to let him buy in.... Penske was not set up that way though... Brad means to be in this sport and not in a small way! Always liked his unconditional pit stops and not following anyone.... but always a wanted pusher and friend on the superspeedways. No matter how far they go... and I want Chris to go all the way.....RFK will either get way better or collapse... There is no in between!
Brad saved them. They can easily get a car in the final 4. In fact as crazy as it sounds , Chris Buescher could actually be a NASCAR Cup champion, what universe have I glitched into? I think the title is obtainable for RFK in ‘23, but I think they’ll be stronger in ‘24 and be more of a heavy hitter come next year.
It's extremely ironic Keselowski unintentionally crashed a Roush Fenway Racing Ford to score his first career win Considering that He would be Co-Owner of that said team 13 years later
Brad Is a sleeper, he always has a resurgence when It matters the most. I would surely put a bet on him at least till round of 8. He Is very consistent and mature AND he can perform no matter the type of track.
Fun fact, the summer Daytona race last Saturday was RFKs’ first 1-2 finish since the spring Bristol race in 2014. It’s incredible how this team just a couple years ago was just a mid-field team and now has become possible championship contenders.
Brad is a great owner, I think his potential shined owning his truck team. Not an easy job to erase a decade of struggles. He’s always been a great entrepreneur, can’t wait to see him back in victory lane. Damn good job BK! 👍
He sure learnt from Big Bob on how to manage a team. I'm glad he saved Roush, It would've been a shame if a team as important as them would've gone the Dodo way like Junior Johnson's team, CGR, Yates or any other of the big teams that have dissapeared. I hope Legacy M.C.C. doesnt follow those steps.
RFK's resurgence with Brad Keselowski as a part owner/driver and both he and Buescher running at the front is fantastic to watch. It reminds me of McLaren's F1 revival in recent years with Zak Brown joining as CEO in 2019 and turning McLaren around after years of mismanagement, poor performance and their toxic partnership with Honda. It's interesting how awful McLaren and Roush were in the mid to late 2010s and now they're competitive organizations again.
Man It was painful to see Roush decadence from being a big new fan in 2004, I was a big Carl and Mark fan and I was really glad when they left Roush, shame they never won a big one with HMS or JGR but It they never went out of Roush, the team would've died out. Yeah, even if they are mediocre at best, Stenhouse and Buescher actually saved Roush. They are as important as Brad when It comes to RFK present dominance.
As a Mark Martin fan, who became a Brad K fan following Marks full time retirement, I NEEEEED to see that 6 car in victory lane. Brad says they are still a season away from being title contenders, but I’ve said the same thing you said. There’s no reason it can’t be this year. They have great tracks for the team in each round. WE ARE SO BACK!!!
Currently the best Ford team in cup series. I predicted both RFK cars would make the playoffs (Buescher on a win and Keselowski on points) whereas Eric predicted they'd both miss.
I didnt think RFKs progression would happen this quickly, I thought they would be properly great again in 3-4 years after Brad bought in, not 1 and a bit
Buescher is a hot gun. Young Mark Martin's calibre. Brad has a good eye for talent. He should swap an eye for good Ford prospects such as Frankie Muniz, Timmy Hill, Chase Briscoe. Them all could well do a good job in a 60 or 26 experimental Roush-Ford Performance Program machine
Great video. It is good to see Keselowski has become the leader that he is today. Regardless if RFK's two teams advance deep into this year's playoffs, I think this team is now built for long-term success.
Before Keselowski announced as driver and part owner of the Roush Fenway, they weren't winning races, bad luck including Newman's horrific last lap crash at Daytona, lacking performance race by race. Buescher and Keslowski making Roush Fenway Keselowski one of the top teams of 2023 and in the playoffs. Let's see how far can they go.
Roush Fenway Racing in the 2000s was very good, and I remember watching David Ragan(6 car), Matt Kenseth(17 car), Greg Biffle(16 car), and Carl Edwards(99 car) being competitive for wins. It's great to see how brad keselowski changed Roush Fenway teams and how there improving in the cup series.
Brad went from being Carl Edwards biggest rival to a champion to owning his team and bringing them back to prominence. W career! He really is rags to riches. You don’t see that in NASCAR these days.
when it was announced Kyle was going to RCR I was hoping that Kyle would do a Brad impression: it would work out businesswise a good thing: RC gets a free truck team and Kyle gets a Cup team at a serious discount
And I think a lot of people are writing them off. But I think they are going to be a real threat. And it'd not wins that tell me this. It's consistency. They are just always in the picture
Those who were, and are paying attention, knew this was going to happen! Everyone "shocked" by this resurgence is a fool. Brad Keselowski is a NASCAR great! just a terrific team owner! He's a leader! And he's damn good at what he does! Then throw in Buescher?! RFK is going to be a FORCE to be reckoned with! This is DEI all over again! (Without the WW) I know what they (RFK) found!
“RFK has the weirdest sponsorship model in NASCAR. Doesn't make any sense economically for Castrol to sponsor two cars in the exact same race when there will be two Castrol cars at Richmond. This isn't Formula One.” Own that bozo RFK.
Actually it’s pretty straight forward. Now if you wanna see an incredible and odd sponsorship model, dig into Team Penske. They’ve got it figured out and no other team has the scale to support it.
After what I heard from a friend who worked a short time for Roush, prior to 20+ years with JGR, I have been pleasantly surprised Brad has single-handedly brought this team back to prominence. Between his struggles flying aircraft and the "junk" equipment...Jack needed exactly what Brad has brought to the table. His work ethic, organization, attention to detail, and his entrepreneurial spirit have served RFK very well. Now let's win that 2nd Championship BK!
I'm glad to say that I was with Brad long before he came over to Roush Fenway and vice versa.... (2017-18 I believe I can't remember exactly)... I am so thrilled to see the revival of RFK Racing, and I can't wait to see where things go. Hopefully we can see the revival of their Xfinity Program.....
This is just my opinion i felt like jack roush brought brad k over because if he didn't i felt like roush was going to go under in the next few years if brad didn't go over
If RFK goes to four full time cars they should bring back the 97 and move the 60 to full time and maybe run the 50 part time. They won the cup championship with the 17 and 97, the Xfinity championship with the 60 and 6, and the truck championship in 2000 with Biffle in the 50. I think it would be fitting for RFK to use those numbers.
Brad says there is still a long way to go. And it's that attitude that is propelling them forward. I love watching the #6 team and #17 team race. Go RFK!!
I think Buescher is a legit championship contender and will be for years to come. I don’t see Brad winning another championship. But I think in the coming seasons, he’ll definitely pick up a few wins before he hangs it up. Either way he’s proven to be a great owner and I’m excited to see what the future holds for this team!
Just figured id tell you it was awesome seeing you in old man beard faces stream last night if you can hop on in this weekend it would be awesome...also sorry about the fangirling
Love these guys, but we need to remember 3 wins in the regular season is exceptional and the competition is still fierce. I cant expect this same level of performanc year after year end over end. But I think at this point it woukd be reasonable to see RFK as a playoff contender at least once a year.
Not to take away from this video, But as you might be aware I won't be likely watching the Southern 500 sadly because I am traveling But I did find tonight DannyB a lot of cars from Wal-Mart one of my closest ones actually had a lot of cars in the store as many as I found in a long time in the same store if not ever I found over a dozen cars in that store but could only get 8 because thats all I could carry without dropping them. But I am saving them until by birthday which is tomorrow. I am traveling to San Marcos and seeing it for a 2nd time in 2023. So you won't likely see me watching a race after Saturday current or older for a few days I am somewhat taking a at least 36-48 hour break. Also with all the controversy too going on this week, that didn't involve racing on the track too I bet you might know what controversy I am talking about though.
I believe so. Despite Keselowski not getting a win yet, he's gotten better this year. He's given Roush that breathe of fresh air it so desperately needed. I think RFK can once again be considered Championship Contenders for a good while longer.
No...Jeff probably knows he cost himself that....been a fan of Gordon for years... got in a pretty good fight because someone called Jeff a pussy and weakling.... Gordon is hard core and tough ...he knows why he lost..... lots of respect for 4 time and nobody got anything handed anything from that Man.
Honestly, I think Brad Keselowski is probably better as an owner than as a driver. Given that he is a hell of a driver and a champion of the sport, that should tell what I think of his ownership skills. I would love to see his team win a championship and deny Gibbs in particular. I think they have more to prove, and this will always drive them.
I would like to see Ricky Stenhouse get a chance to redeem himself with his original team. People forgot really quickly about Ricky being a back to back Nationwide Series champion. He has never gotten a chance to prove himself in the top series.
Kez knows manufacturing. That equates to an owner that your team is incapable of BS'ing on tolerances...Maybe they were still testing him out on that major penalty. 😂
Being stupid is not a money making proposition.... Brad does not nor ever has suffered from that infliction! Smart people make others better. Chris Buesher knows he was handed a once in his life time opportunity! Brad is a stud when it comes to making things happen.... I herd he was there painting and cleaning and saying we must care about the small things. Bead and Chris know they are studs.... because Brad showed them! If you think I am wrong..... well you never seen Brad race!!!!
What do you think? Is RFK really BACK to championship form? Has Brad really saved this once dominant team?
Yes
Without Brad Roush might not even be on the track currently.
Brad asked Penske to let him buy in.... Penske was not set up that way though... Brad means to be in this sport and not in a small way! Always liked his unconditional pit stops and not following anyone.... but always a wanted pusher and friend on the superspeedways. No matter how far they go... and I want Chris to go all the way.....RFK will either get way better or collapse... There is no in between!

My Man keselowski has saved Roush, I hope Brad wins a race this season
Me also, but I have always put a lot of pressure on Brad! The Man almost seems like a machine,lol.
Brad is a lot Kyle Busch.... but Brad is just better at being nice to the media.... they both will eat your heart!

They were awesome and powerful... always remember that.... It's a resurgence not a first for them.
RFK Is like mid 2010's Front Row 😂 like seriously McDowell Is no slouch, he can beat Buescher Ford sure 😆
Brad is a great owner, I think his potential shined owning his truck team. Not an easy job to erase a decade of struggles. He’s always been a great entrepreneur, can’t wait to see him back in victory lane. Damn good job BK! 👍

Brad was always an exceptional owner. He’s well known for being a detailed oriented guy.. RFK will continue to succeed

Brad says they are still a season away from being title contenders, but I’ve said the same thing you said. There’s no reason it can’t be this year. They have great tracks for the team in each round.

Right there with you. Loved seeing the 6 back in victory lane
Currently the best Ford team in cup series. I predicted both RFK cars would make the playoffs (Buescher on a win and Keselowski on points) whereas Eric predicted they'd both miss.
In my opinion.... Ford has to prove something to RFK!!! What do you think?
It would be great to see in the next 5 years if Brad will revive the Roush Xfinity series program
A black Winn Dixie car again..lol
I didnt think RFKs progression would happen this quickly, I thought they would be properly great again in 3-4 years after Brad bought in, not 1 and a bit

Mark Martin was someone I got mad about when they talked shit! Love too watch that man race hard but clean..... lost so many tight races!
I mentioned Mark because you did not.... You should apologize NOW!!!!
Great that Buescher has been able to win for 3 longtime Roush sponsors: Fastenal, Castrol, Fifth Third
Brad went from being Carl Edwards biggest rival to a champion to owning his team and bringing them back to prominence. W career! He really is rags to riches. You don’t see that in NASCAR these days.
when it was announced Kyle was going to RCR I was hoping that Kyle would do a Brad impression: it would work out businesswise a good thing: RC gets a free truck team and Kyle gets a Cup team at a serious discount
Brad has brought back Roush to a championship contending team.
And I think a lot of people are writing them off. But I think they are going to be a real threat. And it'd not wins that tell me this. It's consistency. They are just always in the picture

You sir have been paying attention! Brad is someone to take very serious. And he has some pretty good Bling to prove it!
“RFK has the weirdest sponsorship model in NASCAR.

Go Brad go. Get that first Cup win as a driver/owner
that carl edward’s flip is really something w retrospect
I'm glad to say that I was with Brad long before he came over to Roush Fenway and vice versa.... (2017-18 I believe I can't remember exactly)... I am so thrilled to see the revival of RFK Racing, and I can't wait to see where things go. Hopefully we can see the revival of their Xfinity Program.....
This is just my opinion i felt like jack roush brought brad k over because if he didn't i felt like roush was going to go under in the next few years if brad didn't go over
Please do more of these
Been rooting for Brad K since he drove for jr... Let's go 6️⃣.....1️⃣7️⃣🏁
Great to see roush coming back after being an afterthought for so many years hopefully Brad can win a race he’s been close multiple times now
If RFK goes to four full time cars they should bring back the 97 and move the 60 to full time and maybe run the 50 part time.
They won the cup championship with the 17 and 97, the Xfinity championship with the 60 and 6, and the truck championship in 2000 with Biffle in the 50. I think it would be fitting for RFK to use those numbers.
Brad is a leader with a vision. The further this team can get away from Jack Roush the more successful it will become.
Yes! My fav team the Tennessee Volunteers & my fav TH-camr DannyB, are both back! Glad to see you making more of these style videos!
Brad says there is still a long way to go. And it's that attitude that is propelling them forward. I love watching the #6 team and #17 team race. Go RFK!!
They have more to prove to me right now they look like the best ford team but let's see how the playoffs go versus Hendrick Chevrolets and jgr Toyotas
I think Buescher is a legit championship contender and will be for years to come. I don’t see Brad winning another championship. But I think in the coming seasons, he’ll definitely pick up a few wins before he hangs it up. Either way he’s proven to be a great owner and I’m excited to see what the future holds for this team!
Telling ya RFK gettin better
Just figured id tell you it was awesome seeing you in old man beard faces stream last night if you can hop on in this weekend it would be awesome...also sorry about the fangirling
I watch OMBF all the time. He’s great at what he does. Great entertainment.
Love these guys, but we need to remember 3 wins in the regular season is exceptional and the competition is still fierce. I cant expect this same level of performanc year after year end over end.

Please Danny. KEEP COOKING 🔥🔥🔥🔥 #dannybchef
I always felt he was the man for the job
Getting roush out of the picture has made FK Racing successful.
RFK TO THE MOOOOON!
I want a 3rd car #97 Zane Smith
BK did it his way and brought back RFK out of harm's way
I have Brad making it to the final 4 along with the 8, 12, 19,
I believe so.
Despite Keselowski not getting a win yet, he's gotten better this year. He's given Roush that breathe of fresh air it so desperately needed. I think RFK can once again be considered Championship Contenders for a good while longer.
Brad also owns Keselowski Advanced Manufacturing which he started in 2018. He's no stranger to running a business.
He also cost Jeff Gordon the 2014 Championship.
No...Jeff probably knows he cost himself that....been a fan of Gordon for years... got in a pretty good fight because someone called Jeff a pussy and weakling.... Gordon is hard core and tough ...he knows why he lost..... lots of respect for 4 time and nobody got anything handed anything from that Man.
great intro

Martinsville is coming up kids
Sad Jack doesn’t even attend the races anymore
I would like to see Ricky Stenhouse get a chance to redeem himself with his original team. People forgot really quickly about Ricky being a back to back Nationwide Series champion. He has never gotten a chance to prove himself in the top series.
Just keeo putting sponsorhsip above the headlights. Its good luck at this point.
RFK with Brad at the helm might be Fords top team in the future..
I really want Chris to win this years title
YES.
Kez knows manufacturing. That equates to an owner that your team is incapable of BS'ing on tolerances...Maybe they were still testing him out on that major penalty. 😂
IMO RFK has become the top Ford team in Cup.
Heupel was the glaringly better coach vs Napier and the gators last.season.
GO BIG ORANGE!
Im not convinced, 17 out first round, 6 out 2nd round
Go Vols
Roush ruined Ryan Newmans career
Being stupid is not a money making proposition.... Brad does not nor ever has suffered from that infliction! Smart people make others better.
