NEWS: According to Adam Stern, there is some industry chatter about a third car at RFK Racing in 2025.

According to his report, he states that Kroger has decided to join the organization as a sponsor, and with that size of an investment into the team, could it spark the third charter that was rumored earlier in the year.

Unsure which driver would be considered for this ride or where the charter is coming from, but Stern also mentioned Ryan Preece as the only current SHR Ford driver in the Cup Series to not find a ride.
