Brad Keselowski addressed the media Saturday morning in a lengthy press conference to discuss his future \u2013 a key element of which, he revealed, was settled only in the hour leading up to his appearance behind the microphone.<\/p>\n
Just before his meeting with the media, the 2012 NACAR Cup Series champion and the championship RFK team came to an agreement to part ways in all meaningful aspects going forward, he revealed. While Keselowski finishes out the season in the No. 6 RFK Ford, he reiterated he has no intention of retiring from the driver\u2019s seat and conceded he doesn\u2019t have anything lined up \u2013 yet \u2013 for 2027.<\/p>\n
But, he said, he is open to both ownership and driving opportunities.<\/p>\n
\u201cThere are really three pivotal next steps for me that we\u2019re working through very hard,\u2019\u2019 he said. \u201cThe first one for me is, now that I\u2019ve been granted the release, I can meaningfully engage in the opportunities that exist. I was more or less taking phone calls and unable to do much with them until granted that release here just recently. Now I can engage them in a meaningful way. I can also go about the process of finding the right media and marketing partners to take on that challenge.\u201d<\/p>\n
Keselowski reminded that he brings eligibility for NASCAR\u2019s Clash race and would love to compete in the season-opening Daytona 500, a crown jewel he still has yet to win.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhen I joined RFK Racing, which would have been about five years ago now, I joined with the idea that it would be my forever home,\u2019\u2019 Keselowski said. \u201cThat would be where I finished my career, transcend into management and ownership for the rest of my professional career in life. That was really where my heart was and it didn\u2019t play out the way that we hoped it would, but there were a lot of good things that did happen.<\/p>\n
\u201cI would say objectively I was able to be a part of taking this team up a level in every measurable way, and I\u2019m proud of the people that I got to work with and that we did that together with. No matter where this goes from here, that doesn\u2019t change.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Brad Keselowski addressed the media Saturday morning in a lengthy press conference to discuss his future \u2013 a…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":953541,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[446],"tags":[49,48,634,82],"class_list":["post-953540","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-nascar","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-nascar","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/953540","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=953540"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/953540\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/953541"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=953540"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=953540"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=953540"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
