Brad Keselowski Racing will look different next season with two new drivers after Tyler Reddick announced he will not return to Brad Keselowski Racing in 2017 on Thursday. Daniel Hemric, Reddick's teammate will be leaving the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series and heading to Richard Childress Racing in 2017 driving a NASCAR Xfinity Series car. With that being said it makes us wonder how the landscape will look in 2017 with one announcement already being made for one driver in the two truck stable in 2017.

It's been announced that Austin Cindric will be driving for Brad Keselowski Racing full time. Cindric is the son of Tim Cindric who is the President of Team Penske. Cindric has made six starts in the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series with his best finish coming at Phoenix last season where he finished 14th. The specifics of Cindric's 2017 BKR program, including sponsor partners, will be announced at a later date. Cindric is a good move toward the future and I think he will be competitive in the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series. Cindric also has 2 wins in 2 starts in the NASCAR K&N Pro Series East for Martin McClure Motorsports along with 1 victory in 6 starts in the ARCA Racing Series presented by Menards.
The question stands now on who will go into that second truck for Brad Keselowski Racing and we have our speculations with different drivers who are in the Team Penske stable. Chase Briscoe, the 2016 ARCA Racing Series presented by Menards Champion drives for Cunningham Motorsports which is a partner of Team Penske. Also when looking at the Cunningham Motorsports we have to look at Myatt Snider who made his NCWTS debut this weekend with AM Racing. Snider raced 9 races in the ARCA Racing Series presented by Menards with one victory and one pole. Also we can look at drivers like Parker Kligerman, Jordan Anderson, Austin Theriault, Korbin Forrister, and Ryan Truex who all could become free agents following the 2016 Season and that's one ride we know is open so things could get interesting with Musical Chairs the question is who will be left standing when the music stops.
