[autotag]RFK Racing[/autotag] has come a long way since [autotag]Brad Keselowski[/autotag] joined the organization as an owner and driver to start the 2022 NASCAR season. Keselowski and Chris Buescher struggled at the beginning of the organization’s new era; however, there has been an obvious and drastic improvement over the last year and a half.
The organization secured its first victory with Keselowski as a co-owner when the No. 17 car claimed the checkered flag at Bristol Motor Speedway in the 2022 NASCAR playoffs. Since that point, RFK Racing has been steadily improving. Keselowski and Buescher have been fast most weeks while the latter has won two straight races at Richmond Raceway and Michigan International Speedway.

With RFK Racing winning at Richmond two weekends ago, the topic of expanding to a third car was brought up in a press conference. Keselowski responded to the question with an answer that most expected.
“I think (RFK Racing) would definitely like to do that but is easier said than done,” said Keselowski. “For the time being, I think we are quite satisfied with the relationship we are building with the Rick Ware Racing cars which allows us to kind of add some depth to our roster without going out and buying another charter right now. Ultimately, we would like to get a third car. It has to be possible and right now it is not possible.
It is well-documented that NASCAR charters are almost impossible to purchase and this is the situation that everyone has to deal with right now. RFK Racing seems likely to become a three-car operation sometime in the future; however, it will take some time as the charter market begins to improve for owners looking to buy one.
