Despite a couple of top-15s to open the year, the team he now co-owns, Roush Fenway Keselowski Racing, has run into a problem that could have a long-lasting negative impact on the organization.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>NASCAR levied its first significant penalty of the Next Gen car era Thursday when it <a href=\"https:\/\/sports7.us\/brad-keselowski-co-tested-nascars-boundaries-next-gen-car-major-penalty\/\">docked the No. 6 team<\/a> 100 owners' points, 100 drivers' points, and 10 NASCAR playoff points for modifying a single source supplied part for the race Sunday at Atlanta Motor Speedway.

For example, Kyle Busch won more than $9 million when he won the Cup Series championship in 2015.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, these penalties affect the entire No. 6 car team and RFK Racing, which has struggled for much of the last decade. RFK has not placed a driver higher than 15th in the points standings since Carl Edwards finished ninth in 2014.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>RFK dropped from running three cars to two cars in that time, but Keselowski\u2019s arrival offered hope of a turnaround. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-rfk-enjoyed-success-at-2022-daytona-speedweeks\">RFK enjoyed success at 2022 Daytona Speedweeks<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1250\" height=\"833\" src=\"https:\/\/sports7.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Brad-Keselowski-1.jpg?w=1024&#038;h=682&#038;strip=all&#038;quality=89\" alt=\"Brad Keselowski ahead of the 2022 NASCAR Cup Series Ruoff Mortgage 500 qualifying\" class=\"wp-image-1496419\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sports7.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Brad-Keselowski-1.jpg 1250w, https:\/\/sports7.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Brad-Keselowski-1.jpg?w=300&amp;h=200 300w, https:\/\/sports7.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Brad-Keselowski-1.jpg?w=768&amp;h=512 768w, https:\/\/sports7.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Brad-Keselowski-1.jpg?w=1024&amp;h=682 1024w, https:\/\/sports7.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Brad-Keselowski-1.jpg?w=1200&amp;h=800 1200w, https:\/\/sports7.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Brad-Keselowski-1.jpg?w=90&amp;h=60 90w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1250px) 100vw, 1250px\" \/><figcaption>Brad Keselowski looks on during qualifying for the Ruoff Mortgage 500 at Phoenix Raceway | Logan Riely\/Getty Images<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Keselowski joined the organization as a co-owner and driver of the No. 6 car before the 2022 season. The organization seemed to find instant success when Keselowski and teammate Chris Buescher swept the Daytona 500 qualifying races in February before RFK avoided penalties later that week when NASCAR officials confiscated wheels from RFK and Team Penske cars to evaluate potentially improper modifications.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Keselowski then finished ninth in the Daytona 500, but neither he nor Buescher reached the top 10 until Buescher finished 10th a couple of weeks back at Phoenix Raceway. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The following week at Atlanta delivered the best overall weekend for RFK with Buescher in seventh and Keselowski 12th, but now RFK and the No. 6 team will have to regroup.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-winning-becomes-even-more-critical-for-keselowski\">Winning becomes even more critical for Keselowski<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">No one said it would be easy, but I know it will be worth it.

A win would automatically make him eligible for the playoffs if he can climb back into the top 30 in points and make up a significant portion of the financial loss the recent penalties have cost him and the organization.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Keselowski is currently 34 points behind B.J. McLeod for the 30th spot, and the upcoming schedule in April with three short tracks and a superspeedway offers some reasons for optimism.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Four of Keselowski\u2019s last seven wins have come at the four tracks the series will visit in April. He has seven wins combined on the short tracks of Richmond Raceway, Martinsville Speedway, and Bristol Motor Speedway, although the Bristol race will be on a dirt surface. Keselowski finished 11th in the inaugural Bristol dirt race a year ago.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He has also run well at the superspeedway-style races of Daytona and Atlanta, so he figures to be a factor in the Talladega Superspeedway race next month when he could notch his seventh win and break a tie with Jeff Gordon and Dale Earnhardt Jr. for the second-most career wins at the track, behind only Dale Earnhardt\u2019s 10.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Keselowski is certainly capable of turning his season around, but his margin of error remaining is arguably the smallest of any playoff contender in the series.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>All stats courtesy of <\/em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.racing-reference.info\/\"><em>Racing Reference<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>RELATED: <a href=\"https:\/\/sports7.us\/unpredictable-brad-keselowski-has-become-completely-predictable-not-in-good-way\/\">&#8216;Unpredictable' Brad Keselowski Has Become Completely Predictable, and Not in a Good Way<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Brad Keselowski could lose millions from the penalty handed down by NASCAR says Wood Brothers Senior VP Jon Wood.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":250,"featured_media":1496419,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[253795],"tags":[118377],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v22.3 (Yoast SEO v22.9) -
