Brad Keselowski, a prominent NASCAR driver and RFK Racing co-owner, emphasizes his commitment to the NASCAR Cup Series while expressing strong interest in leading an IMSA Hypercar team around Ford's 2027 program. Inspired by Rick Hendrick's success and leadership style, Keselowski revealed that Ford is developing a hypercar to compete at Le Mans and potentially in the U.S., and he would like to own that team if it participates domestically. This aligns with Ford's broader strategy of entering the top-tier FIA World Endurance Championship with a factory-backed Hypercar, emphasizing genuine performance and electrification efforts, not just marketing. Keselowski’s ambition is rooted in his racing background and his vision to bridge NASCAR and endurance racing, similar to Hendrick’s innovative Garage 56 project that showcased NASCAR’s adaptability on the international stage. He has publicly signaled his desire to expand RFK Racing’s involvement into IMSA’s top class, leveraging his road racing experience and RFK’s historical success in IMSA under Jack Roush. Despite his focus on the Cup Series and recent struggles with consistency, Keselowski remains committed to his current racing pursuits and team ownership. He dismisses plans for lower-tier NASCAR expansion but sees a future where RFK Racing could participate in IMSA’s Hypercar class, especially if Ford’s North American program materializes. Hendrick’s ongoing health issues and reduced presence at races contrast with his influential leadership, but Hendrick continues to play a crucial role behind the scenes. The upcoming 2027 racing season and Ford’s Hypercar plans could serve as a pivotal opportunity for Keselowski to expand his racing legacy beyond NASCAR, blending American stock car racing with international endurance racing, inspired by Hendrick’s cross-disciplinary successes.
