And the 37-year-old recently shared the ‘progress’ at his new office. Keselowski posted a picture of his new home that was ‘freshly painted’ and had ‘new floors’ installed.

As the next season is approaching, things will begin to take shape in terms of a workplace and the car. Speaking of the car, RFK Racing recently announced a sponsorship for their drivers.

Brad Keselowski has a different verdict on the Next Gen cars

While many drivers and team members have been critical of the new cars, Brad Keselowski holds a different view. Although he admits the new cars are slower and handle poorly, he believes that’s a ‘good thing’.

“The car is quite a bit slower than the older Cup cars but handles really bad, which I think is a good thing. I think we had fallen into a spot where the Cup cars were driving too well.”

“Now you’ve got to ‘man up’ to drive these cars. They’re not super-fast, but they’re very challenging to drive.”
