RFK Racing's Expansion Sparks Sponsorship Shake-Up

Brad Keselowski's team secures Kroger as a major sponsor for 2025 but risks losing long-time partner King's Hawaiian due to brand conflicts.

  • RFK Racing will expand to a three-car team in 2025, adding Ryan Preece as their third driver, supported by a new sponsorship deal with Kroger.
  • Kroger's sponsorship introduces multiple retail brands to RFK's lineup, creating marketing opportunities across all three cars but causing internal brand conflicts.
  • Long-time sponsor King's Hawaiian, historically linked to Brad Keselowski's No. 6 Ford, is reportedly considering leaving RFK Racing due to overlaps with Kroger's vendor partners.
  • Keselowski defended RFK's approach of spreading sponsors across multiple cars, emphasizing financial stability and increased value for partners.
  • The potential departure of King's Hawaiian reflects the competitive nature of NASCAR sponsorships, with speculation about the brand exploring opportunities with other teams or leaving the sport entirely.
