RFK Racing is set to take a significant leap forward in 2025 by expanding its presence in the NASCAR Cup Series. This move is expected to bring new opportunities and challenges for the team and its drivers.

RFK Racing's 2025 Leap - Three Full-Time Entries and Beyond

Expansion and Expectations

RFK Racing is gearing up for a pivotal season in 2025 with the addition of three full-time NASCAR Cup Series entries. Brad Keselowski, a co-owner of the organization, is bullish about the future but also acknowledges the need for continuous improvement. "We want to win races. We want to win more races," Keselowski said. "We've won six point-paying races over the last three seasons, and we want to be able to do that in one season. That would be a good mark for us."The current iteration of RFK Racing began in 2022 when Keselowski joined forces with Jack Roush. In his first two seasons driving the No. 6 Ford, Keselowski did not secure a win. However, Chris Buescher had a breakthrough in 2022 by winning at Bristol Motor Speedway and followed it up with three more victories in 2023 at Richmond Raceway, Michigan International Speedway, and Daytona International Speedway. In 2024, the roles reversed as Keselowski finally won at Darlington Raceway while Buescher went winless.Neither driver made the postseason in 2022, but both earned berths in 2023, and Keselowski represented the organization in the 2024 edition. "We want to put all of our cars in the playoffs," Keselowski emphasized.

New Addition and Goals

Ryan Preece joins the RFK Racing line-up from Stewart-Haas Racing. This will be his sixth full season at the Cup Series level, and he is still seeking his first career win and subsequent playoff berth. "There are some measurables," Keselowski said of the year ahead. "But ultimately, we want to be in the conversation with one of our cars and hopefully more than one of our cars on any given race weekend to be able to win. We have shown a lot of progress there, and this is the next step to be more consistent."When Buescher won in 2022, it was the first win for a Roush car since 2017. The organization has eight points wins over the last 10 seasons. Keselowski, the 2012 series champion, believes that the success they are chasing feels closer than further away. "There’s a lot of challenges, no doubt," he said. "But we just continue to improve as an organization."
