What to expect from Tony Stewart and Brad Keselowski in 2023?

One thing is for sure, Stewart will continue to keep himself active and add more laurels. At the same time, he will also be monitoring his Stewart-Haas Racing team and its progress in NASCAR. Even though he is no longer racing in NASCAR, he is still involved with the team. This was especially evident when he helped Ryan Preece nab the #41 seat from Cole Custer, who moved down to the Xfinity Series.

As for Brad Keselowski, he also has his hands full with his RFK Racing team. The driver-owner endured a miserable personal campaign but was glad to see his teammate Chris Buescher win a race last year. After some early struggles adapting to the Next Gen car, Keselowski & co will be eager to hit the ground running in 2023. After all, every team would have gotten used to the new car and figured out what makes it tick.
