BRAD KESELOWSKI - 2/12/1987 - 
BRAD KESELOWSKI RACING was an American professional stock car racing team that currently competes in the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series. Started in 2007, it is owned and operated by Sprint Cup Series and Xfinity Series champion Brad Keselowski.  As of the start of 2017, the team fielded the #2 Gogo Ford F-150 part-time for Austin Theriault and Austin Cindric, the #19 California Clean Power/Draw-Tite Ford F-150 full-time for Daniel Hemric, and the #29 Cooper Standard Ford F-150 full-time for Tyler Reddick.  The team started in 2008 making four attempts in the Camping world Truck series. Keselowski drove one race finishing in sixth at Phoenix while Robb Brent wheeled the #19 on three occasions with a best finish of 21st.  Keselowski entered the team in eight NCWTS races in 2009, driving the Keselowski family's familiar #29.  BKR brought Mikey Kile in for six races, J. R. Fitzpatrick in for one race, and Keselowski made one start at Bristol.  Kile posted 

the teams best finish coming home eleventh at both Gateway (St Louis) and Milwaukee.  In 2010, the team competed in five NCWTS events, with Keselowski scoring a season-best finish of second at Gateway Motorsports Park. In 2011, BKR fielded the #29 Ram for development driver Parker Kligerman.  The team intended to run 15 races before Team Penske committed to sponsoring the team for the full season.  Kligerman scored a four top fives including two second place results coming on back to back races at Texas and Kentucky; and finished 11th in points.  Also in 2011, team owner Keselowski also drove a second truck,  the #19, for six races.  In 2012, Cequent Group and Cooper Standard sponsored the #29 team.  Due to a lack of performance, Kligerman was released from the #29 and Ryan Blaney was brought in to fill out the remaining 

schedule.  Blaney immediately made a splash, winning at Iowa Speedway in his third start, earning the team its first victory.  Along with the win the team posted seven top five and 16 top ten results.  Blaney returned to the No. 29 full-time in 2013, capturing the pole at Kentucky Speedway and the win at Pocono Raceway.  He finished sixth in the season ending points chase.  Blaney won once again in 2014 posted two poles, and had 17 top ten finishes.  He ended up second in the points getting beat out by Matt Crafton by just 21 points.  2014 also saw the team race a second truck in the series.  Tyler Reddick was brought on to drive the majority of the races (16) when Keselowski 

drove three; Joey Logano drove two and Alex Tagliani drove on a road course.  Keselowski was able to capture a win for the team at Bristol.  In 2015, the #19 was driven full-time by Tyler Reddick, with Reddick winning two races 

 

(Daytona and Dover) before ultimately finishing second in the standings in all 23 races Reddick had a worst finish of 19th; and that was the only race he finished outside the top 15.  He posted 14 top fives and 19 top tens.  He was edged out by 15 points by eventual Champion Erik Jones who posted three wins; 11 top five and 20 top ten results.   The 329 was shared by a variety of drivers in 2015 including Keselowski, Logano, Ryan Blaney, among others,  The second team posted two win.  Blaney got the victory 

at Bristol, while Logano claimed the checkers at Martinsville.  In 2016, Daniel Hemric joined the team, driving the #19 California Clean Power/Draw-Tite Ford in a full time ride, while Reddick moved into the #29 for a full-time effort 

 

sponsored by Cooper Standard.  Austin Cindric and Austin Theriault drove a third entry for the organization in five races.  Reddick picked up one victory in 2016 getting a win at Las Vegas.  He crashed out of three races finishing 25th or worse in those.  That shoved him down to a disappointing ninth place finish in points.  Hemric had a more consistent season and even though he didn't get a win; he did post 11 top five finishes and 17 top tens.  He was able to end the

season sixth in points.  As 2017 dawns Hemric will be moving to Richard Childress Racing to drive in the Xfinity Series and Cindric will drive full time for Keselowski.  Reddick announced he would not be returning to the organization for 

 

2017.  Keselowski added Chad Briscoe to his stable.  Both drivers ran the full season and were very competitive as they posted Top 10 finishes on a regular basis.  Cindric had eight Top 10 finishes in the first 14 races; before breaking through to claim his first win on the road course of  Canadian Tire Motorsports Park in Ontario.  The win would automatically qualify him for the Chase; which he ran well in; making it all the way to the final race at Homestead with a chance to win the Championship.  Cindric ran well in the season final race; finishing fifth in the event; and third in the points.  Meanwhile new team mate Chase Briscoe had his share of great runs.  He kicked off the season finishing third at Daytona; and followed that up with three second place finishes before winning the season finale' at

Homestead.  For the season Briscoe had one win; eight Top 5; and 16 Top 10's in the years 23 events; finishing sixth in the points.  Cindric would have the lone win and add 10 Top 5's and 14 Top 10's.  Near the end of the 2017 season, Keselowski would shut down his race team.  So it was nice to see his drivers go out on a high note.  For the teams career they claimed 11 wins; and also have 107 Top 5's and 174 Top 10's over the ten season it was in existence.
At the end of the 2021 season, Keselowski left his Cup ride at Penske Racing, to go to Roush Fenway Racing.  Keselowski bought a stake in the team and at that time it's name changed to Roush Fenway Keselowski Racing.
