There is so much to look forward to for fans and for everyone in the new NASCAR season. There is the new Next Gen car, there are teams expanding, teams contracting, and drivers jumping ship. However, apart from the new car, what most eyes would focus on is to see how Brad Keselowski does at RFK Racing.
Keselowski, who joined Team Penske at the age of 25, left the team with which he won his first Cup championship, at 37. And now at 38, he has ahead of him, a lot of new and old expectations as well as new and old responsibilities.
Regardless, on his 38th birthday, fans gathered around and wished him on his special day.

Brad Keselowski has high hopes for 2022
Keselowski, now that he is not only a driver but also a part-owner at RFK Racing, called 2022, “the biggest year” of his life.
“It’s a big gamble, as I like to call it, it’s a watershed moment for me in the sense of taking on a larger role and responsibility than I ever have. It’ll be a year of pursuing self-growth accordingly. I feel really good about it,” he said.

The former Penske driver also admitted that there’s still a lot of work left to be done, that they’re putting in the efforts to improve the team and the company. “I think we have some stuff that will show just that with good results,” Brad Keselowski said.
So it remains to be seen how he fares in his new car in the new team. There were many that criticized him for moving away from Team Penske.
