Brad Keselowski, driver of the number 6 car from RFK Racing, made a spectacular start during a recent NASCAR Cup race at Gateway. After being overtaken by Joey Logano, he expressed his frustration towards the hierarchy at Ford, highlighting the inequalities he perceives between his organization and Team Penske.
In a moment filled with emotions, Keselowski commented: ‘I wish I were a Ford valued enough to get one of the good engines. Right now, they consider us a low-relevance team and provide us with second-rate material. The situation is frustrating, as I have been overtaken by an engine that is clearly better.’
This incident reflects a complex relationship between RFK Racing and Ford, with Team Penske deemed one of the top-tier teams with more influence over the manufacturer’s decisions. Keselowski, currently out of contention for the Championship, spoke about the possibility of a power disparity between his engines and those of the competition, as his crew chief would launch.
Moreover, Keselowski admitted that his comments from the car were driven by frustration. However, he assured that he maintains a good relationship with the engine builders and tried to ease the tensions generated by his words.
Finally, he called for understanding among fans, stating that the perception of equality in NASCAR cars does not reflect reality. ‘They are not identical cars. There are sculptural parts and variations that make a difference in performance,’ he concluded, emphasizing the importance of the team and equipment to achieve success in competition.
