Keselowski is a Michigan native but now lives in Mooresville, NC along with nearly the entire NASCAR field. Mooresville is located about 30 miles north of Chalotte, so based on location it would make sense. But, from a driver with an estimated net worth of $15 million, it definitely doesn't look feasible from a financial standpoint. That is unless he can get Team Penske owner Roger Penske on-board as many fans eluded to.
Check with Roger, he's gonna be your best bet.......#ComeOnPomona

I think Mr. Penske could front it for you.

Penske has an estimated net worth just shy of $2 billion. But what if a group of NASCAR drivers pooled their resources together to make NASCAR's hometown team, NASCAR owned. Now that would be pretty epic!
