When Brad Keselowski, the famed NASCAR driver, decided to step into the shoes of a team owner, he was in for a ride that was more thrilling than any race track could offer. The journey was filled with surprises, some of which left him utterly astounded.
The Shift to Ownership
At the age of 39, Brad took a leap of faith and became the co-owner of Roush Fenway Keselowski Racing. Not only was he leading the competition on the track, but he was also preparing for a future beyond racing. He said, "I feel like I’m buying into a stock as it’s going up."
The Eye-Opening Costs
Despite his experience owning a truck team and a manufacturing unit, Keselowski was taken aback by the financial surprises that arise with owning a NASCAR team. He shared, "You go to the tire bill (from Goodyear); you’re like, $70,000. Like, how many did we buy? Every bill that you see, you look at it, and you go—that can’t be right."
Keselowski lightened the mood by sharing his shock over a team dinner costing $5,000. He joked about wondering if they had ordered gold-plated steaks! Despite these surprises, Keselowski remains committed to his team and continues to guide them with his invaluable experience.
