Brad Keselowski

Silliest Scenario

The craziest scenario for Brad Keselowski would be him ending up the the #88 Hendrick Motorsports Chevrolet currently driven by Dale Earnhardt Jr. While Keselowski, who has not yet signed a contract extension with Team Penske, is still one of the best drivers in NASCAR five years after his first series championship, many drivers want to end up in that car in the 2018 season and he, unlike some others, is driving for a great team in Team Penske as it is.

Less Silly Scenario

This scenario is almost as crazy as the one above, but not quite. It would make sense for Brad Keselowski to join Stewart-Haas Racing as the driver of the #10 Ford because it is a larger team than Team Penske as well as the fact that it is a Ford team like Team Penske while Hendrick Motorsports is a Chevrolet team. He also recently called Danica Patrick, the current driver of the #10 car, one of the greatest female athletes of all-time, so he may see it as an honor to take her seat if he gets the chance to do so.

Least Silly Scenario

Brad Keselowski is still one of the best drivers in NASCAR, so despite the fact that he does not yet have a contract extension with Team Penske, there is no reason to believe that Roger Penske will go after any other driver he may see as better than Keselowski and let him go to another team. The 2012 series champion can still compete up from with the best of them despite the fact that he has been in a slight slump as of late, so Team Penske will want to keep him around.
