Brad Keselowski takes wait and see approach concerning future at Hendrick Motorsports
By Bob Pockrass - Associate Editor
Friday, June 26, 2009
LOUDON, N.H. – Brad Keselowski said he will find it easier to be patient in waiting to find out if Hendrick Motorsports can find sponsorship for him for a 2010 Sprint Cup ride with one of its affiliate teams.
Team owner Rick Hendrick met with Keselowski this past week.
“It just takes time,” Keselowski said Friday at New Hampshire Motor Speedway. “This is not an easy process and the rope is being pulled, but everybody wants it to pull faster. It’s just weighing all the options and waiting for things to fall into place and there are some things that are out of both of our control. Obviously the economy is a large piece of it and sponsorship fits in there.
“We’re happy working together, we’re going to continue to work together but we don’t have a clear-cut plan forward other than to continue to review our options. I feel like we’re going down the right path. It’s not in concrete right and that’s just the way it is.”
Keselowski is driving seven races for Hendrick Motorsports and about 10 for Phoenix Racing this year. He won the Cup race earlier this season at Talladega Superspeedway driving a Phoenix car.
The 25-year-old Keselowski finished third in the Nationwide Series standings last year and is third in the current standings. He has three career victories in the Nationwide Series.
“I’m happy right now, and I’m focused in the right things, which is running up front in Nationwide and the Cup car and not necessarily the contract stuff,” Keselowski said.

Jun 26, 2009 at 5:21 PMThey are looking for big sponsorship and it just isn't there. Top top drivers like Jeff with DuPont, Kevin with Shell, and Mark with Car quest are having sponsor problems already for next year. Plus a big part of sponsorship isn't your driving. It is the way you look and project yourself for advertising and Brad is lacking there. They will have to put together a package of at least 3-4 sponsors for him to get a Top ride. It would be nice if something happened soon because teams like to finalize deals by Aug so that merchandise is available for Daytona in Feb. I don't see it happening unless Rick pulls off a miracle.

Jun 26, 2009 at 5:56 PMThat is right about how sponsors look at the way you look. Kasey Khane really doesn't have the look that Budweiser was looking for according to a Budweiser article, but they are with him. I just hope Budweiser remains with NASCAR in Cup! Sponsorship is so hard for a lot of people right now. I want to see Brad come to Cup. I hope they can get those sponsor's he needs. I am sure they will look for Jeff and Mark a big sponsorship before they do Brad.

Jun 26, 2009 at 6:01 PMI hope they find sponsorship for him. 20 or more million dollars is alot of money for a unproven driver in cup. The veterans are having problems, I read that about Gordon. you have to wonder if hendrick found some money why he wouldn't take care of his top driver instead of Brad!

Jun 26, 2009 at 7:33 PMI see it as Rick has 3 options which are all possible. 1st is SHR who can add a third car. The second is JMS, who can move up to the sprint cup, and 3rd is Red Bull who can add a 3rd Red Bull car. They have the money to do so. Go Daddy can fill in part of the year for SHR or JMS. The rest can fall in place.

Jun 27, 2009 at 12:32 PM#13, That isn't so. Rick said a couple of weekends ago that Kellogg’s and Carquest may not return in their full capacity in 2010. Right now they split the deal. Kelloggs use to be the main sponsor for the #5 but it hasn't been that way for a couple of years now. and #9, Why dont you figure your own life out!

Report as AbuseMaybe Brad can stay with Jr. in Nationwide next year, until the economy turns around and then they can both move up to Cup. If Brad is ALL THAT, then he can make money for Jr. to move up.

Marks sponsors are not full year sponsors, Car Quest is only sponsoring 16 races, Kellogg's 13 races, Cheez It 4 races, and Pop Tarts 4 races. Next year no one knows how much that will be cut down. Its been said that Car Quest might not be back.
