Brad Keselowski's team is on the verge of acquiring Hyak Motorsports' charter for $80M.
What's happening with Hyak Motorsports?
Hyak Motorsports, the team Ricky Stenhouse Jr. races for, is rumored to shut down at the end of the season.
Why it matters for Brad Keselowski
This is ideal for RFK Racing, as they could secure a ride for their third driver in 2027 without breaking the bank.
Brad Keselowski explained how NASCAR charters work, stating he could spend $40-80 million on a smaller team's charter.
Hyak Motorsports has struggled, with just two top-10 finishes and one DNF in 11 races, hardly attracting revenue or sponsors.
What comes next for Ricky Stenhouse Jr.?
The 2023 Daytona 500 winner has yet to receive an invitation from a good team, making this a do-or-die season for him.
The only open spot on the grid points towards Richard Childress Racing and their deal with Kyle Busch.
Stenhouse Jr. will need strong results and multiple victories this season to replace Busch.
The hosts of *Rubbin’ is Racing* believe Stenhouse Jr. is the most logical choice for Childress if they part ways with Busch.
Kyle Busch is currently risking a $50,000 fine from NASCAR over his aggressive move against John Hunter Nemechek.
Busch's recent incidents have sparked rumors about his future in NASCAR.
RFK Racing's potential acquisition of Hyak Motorsports' charter could solve their problem, but leaves a lingering question about Stenhouse Jr.'s future.
