Brad Keselowski Exits RFK Racing Ownership in 2027

Brad Keselowski, the 2012 NASCAR Cup Series champion, will not continue with RFK Racing beyond the 2026 season. He will finish the current season driving the No. 6 car and then step away from both his driving and likely his ownership roles with the team. This decision follows reported disagreements between Keselowski and Fenway Sports Group regarding the team's strategic direction.

Keselowski stated his pride in his accomplishments at RFK and gratitude for his colleagues. RFK Racing acknowledged his significant impact on the organization, noting his contributions beyond just driving, including shaping the team's future vision. Both parties have agreed to collaboratively manage the transition of his ownership interest.

Despite leaving RFK, Keselowski affirmed his commitment to racing, expressing a strong desire to continue competing and achieve more in the sport. His future racing endeavors are expected to be with a different organization. RFK Racing plans to continue fielding two full-time entries with Chris Buescher and Ryan Preece next year, and aims to secure a third charter to maintain a three-car team.

Keselowski, known for his aggressive driving style, achieved significant success throughout his career, including 34 wins and the 2012 Cup title with Roger Penske. His move to RFK in 2021, where he took an ownership stake, was a surprising career shift aimed at rebuilding the team into a consistent winner. While RFK has seen improvement with seven wins since his arrival, consistent high-level success has remained elusive.
