It is official. Brad Keselowski will be racing for Roger Penske next year. But Brad won't only race in the Cup Series. He will race full time in the Nationwide Series. Something that will be very difficult to do for the 25 year old.
"We are very excited to welcome Brad to the Penske Racing family," team owner Roger Penske said. "Brad has shown terrific success on track the past several years and has quickly established himself as one of the top young stars in racing. He comes from an impressive family background in motorsports. He is a proven winner and a welcome addition to our team."
There is no question that Brad deserves to be in the Cup Series, especially after his win earlier this year at Talladega. But many questioned if Penske Racing was the right move.
"Penske Racing is one of the top teams in all of motorsports and I am honored to join Roger Penske's organization and compete for wins with his Cup and Nationwide Series teams," Keselowski said. "This is a great opportunity for me to continue competing in the Nationwide Series and to run my first full season in the Cup Series with a strong and experienced team."
So, it will be interesting to see how Brad does compared to the Hendrick boys, especially interesting to see him compete against the number 88 Nationwide car for JR Motorsports.
