What started as a season full of promise for RFK Racing has taken a massive nosedive. Chris Buescher just got hit with a brutal 60-point penalty, his crew chief is suspended, and suddenly the No. 17 team’s playoff hopes are dangling by a thread. RFK’s momentum is dead in the water, and now they’re stuck in survival mode with one of the most crucial races of the year right around the corner.
- How bad is the impact of the 60-point deduction?
- Why is the crew chief missing the Coca-Cola 600 such a massive blow to Buescher’s playoff chances?
- Can RFK claw their way back, or is it must-win territory now?
- Is there any real path left for redemption this late in the season?
With 14 races left, the clock is ticking, and the playoff cutline keeps moving higher. Between rising threats like SVG and surprise winners waiting in the wings at road courses or superspeedways, RFK might have just gone from contender to longshot in one week. What does this mean for Buescher’s season, and is Brad Keselowski really washed? Or is it just one more twist in the chaotic world of NASCAR? Sound off in the comments: Are you still betting on RFK?
