This one is special 🏆

Brad Keselowski confirms Chris Buescher signed a multi-year contract extension with RFK Racing last year. Buescher's contract was set to expire at the end of the 2024 season.

Here's a clearer listen on the audio:

Via the FS1 audio, sounded like Reddick said to Buescher on pit road: 'I fucked up! I'm sorry!'

Buescher: 'No shit!'
