RICHMOND, Va. – Throw Brad Keselowski in the mix of drivers who could see time in the No. 70 Haas CNC Racing NASCAR Sprint Cup Series car this year.
 
Keselowski has already tested for the team at Nashville Superspeedway and he might test with them Monday and Tuesday at Lowe’s Motor Speedway.         

Haas CNC Racing General Manager Joe Custer declined comment on his future drivers Friday, but said he hoped to get some things solidified this weekend.

With Rick Hendrick owning half of JR Motorsports, the team for which Keselowski drives in the Nationwide Series, and Haas CNC Racing being a Hendrick affiliate, Keselowski’s participation with the team makes sense.

“We’re going to figure that out this weekend,” Keselowski said on whether he would test with Haas CNC Racing at Charlotte. “It looks like I might go down there Monday and Tuesday and just help them out. We’ll see.”

Whether Keselowski would actually drive in a Sprint Cup race for the team, the driver said he didn’t know and would take things “one step at a time.”

Keselowski is seventh in the Nationwide Series points.

“It’s a great opportunity to drive anything I can drive,” Keselowski said. “I’m a Nationwide-only driver, and we’re right on the brink of going out and winning races and just lacking that little piece. … The more I can drive, the more I can learn and hopefully get better and help this team out.”
