Since Brad Keselowski joined the team as an owner driver in 2021, RFK Racing has been on a way path forward and has established themselves as a team capable of winning championships. They have been involved in many internal projects that helps them to stands apart from the rest of the grid and one such is the sponsor sharing system they have at RFK.
Unlike teams that often reserve primary sponsorship for one of their cars, RFK Racing, which s going to be three car operations from 2025, speared them with in the team, with all crews getting piece of the pie. The results in them having similar paint schemes as well, which some in the racing community doesn’t agrees with.
I think RFK has great schemes, but

I wish they wouldn't spread them between cars. I wish 17=Fastenal, 6=Castrol, 60=build submarines or some combination. I wish the teams had a visible identity. I think that helped more than we know in the 90s-00s. 24=?, 48=? 3=⬛️ https://t.co/jqFKKXzfts
Brad Keselowski has responded to this claim recently via X, after the same criticism aroused following the release of the 2025 Castrol paint scheme for the No:6 and the No:60 cars. He pointed out that the team have this system in place to make sure partners get more value due to increased access and it offers more stability to teams, in case they lose one sponsor.
We get a lot of questions about why we do this at @RFKracing

Mainly 2 reasons-
1). Our partners get more value due to increased access to our team with all 3 drivers and cars.
2). Our employees have increased assurance that if a sponsor leaves, we are significantly less… https://t.co/GzprpKtBnA
Brad Keselowski has big plans for RFK Racing
There are a lot opportunities that comes with having three cars for RFK Racing, including more data and ability to work together efficiently on the track to help each other. Keselowski believes with these changes he can win more races, and target winning at least six races a season as their target for the coming years.
Though it’s a big task, it’s not impossible if Ryan Preece level up his game alongside Keselowski and Chris Buescher in the 2025 season. They have resources and moan power to pull off a stellar season, unless things don’t go as planned for them.
