Once upon a time in NASCAR, Brad Keselowski was a rising young talent with a promising future. So it makes sense that the driver-owner of Roush Fenway Keselowski Racing has an eye for the rising young talents of the current generation.

And who is a better pick for that bracket than Ty Gibbs?

However, there is one thing about Gibbs that perplexes Keselowski, something that could directly affect the future of Kyle Busch.

“I don’t see any reason why — I don’t understand why they’re not putting him in the Cup Series right now,” Keselowski said in a recent interview. “Personally, I would put him in one of those cars.”

This led to the interviewer asking the RFK Racing owner whether he would be willing to sign the young prospect on his team, to which Keselowski jokingly responded, “I don’t think Joe Gibbs is going to let them put him in one of my cars.”

“Just a hunch. I might be wrong, Joe. That said, I don’t know why he wouldn’t put him a Cup car right now and just go.”

Brad Keselowski assesses the state of RFK Racing

In a recent interview, Brad Keselowski candidly spoke about the current state of his team, which has performed far worse than what he or anyone expected out of them heading into the season.

“It’s never going to be fast enough,” Keselowski said. “That’s the reality. There’s been some curveballs here and there, and we’re not where we want to be, without a doubt.”

The former Team Penske driver emphasized how one of the major areas where they lag behind other teams, certainly the big ones, is that they don’t have enough dough in the bank.

“We don’t have the investment that some other guys have in the simulation and all those other things that really help you overcome the practice stuff, the lack of it,” he added.

Nevertheless, Keselowski is looking at the whole thing from a different perspective altogether.

“It’s an adventure,” he said of his race team. “If it’s easy, it’s probably not worth it.”
