Brad Keselowski takes wait and see approach concerning future at Hendrick Motorsports
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.
