41-YO Brad Keselowski makes his opinion clear on working under NASCAR legends Rick Hendrick, Roger Penske, and Jack Roush

Brad Keselowski has driven for a number of NASCAR's greatest car owners to ever grace a Cup Series garage. Now as a co-owner of RFK Racing, the driver of the #6 reflected on his time with his previous car owners while identifying their greatest strengths.

In a recent episode of Stacking Pennies, a podcast co-hosted by part-time Cup driver Corey LaJoie, the 2012 Cup Series champion was asked about the different owners he's driven for throughout his storied career. The 41-year-old made it known that his former owners Rick Hendrick and Roger Penske, and current owner Jack Roush, are all elite owners for different reasons.

The Michigan native said that while he tries to bring his own ideas to a race team, it's hard to not just absorb the knowledge and wisdom of his bosses. Here's what Brad Keselowski said about Hendrick, Penske, and Roush via Stacking Pennies:

"They all bring different strengths to the table. I try to bring a few my own things but there's enough to learn from those three to be successful in its own way. There's things I really loved about working with Roger Penske. He was super committed to having nice stuff, having long-term partnerships, and there's a lot of things that I was very privileged to be a part of there."

"Same thing with Rick Hendrick. Rick Hendrick was probably the best people I've ever seen in my life. Understood how to motivate people, how to push them to be their best, while still holding them accountable. Then, Jack Roush is, to me, the best person I've ever seen working within the lanes of accountability. Really, really good at immediate, effective accountability. So, all three of them are like, 'OK, there's something to be learned here.'"

Brad Keselowski drove part-time for Hendrick Motorsports in the Cup Series in 2009. One year later, he moved to Team Penske where he'd remain for 12 seasons. Keselowski won 34 of his 36 career Cup races with the organization and captured the 2012 championship. In 2022, Keselowski joined forces with Roush to form RFK Racing, which is currently a three-car stable in the Cup Series.

The 2025 NASCAR Cup Series campaign hasn't been the greatest for Brad Keselowski. He missed the playoffs for the first time since 2022 and has posted an average finish of 19.4 through 30 races. Despite recording five top-five finishes, Keselowski has failed to find victory lane this season.

Brad Keselowski won his first race with RFK Racing in May 2024 at Darlington, snapping a three-year winless drought. However, with six races to go, Keselowski is on the verge of going winless in a season for the third time in the last four years.
