CONCORD, N.C. — Brad Keselowski, a driver and co-owner for Roush Fenway Keselowski Racing, said Tuesday he will leave the team after the 2026 NASCAR Cup Series season.
Keselowski joined Roush Fenway Racing as a co-owner in 2021 and began driving for the rebranded team the following season. Keselowski, the 2012 Cup Series champion, is in his 17th full season of racing at NASCAR’s top level. He spent the bulk of his career at Team Penske.
“The impact Brad has made on our organization has been felt by everyone associated with RFK Racing; he’s undoubtedly been a terrific representative of our collective efforts both on and off the track,” said Chip Bowers, president of RFK Racing. “Brad has been clear about his desire to continue competing for years to come, and we respect and support him in pursuing the path that best allows him to achieve those goals.”
RFK Racing said the team and Keselowski “intend to collaboratively and mutually work through the appropriate next steps regarding his existing ownership.” The team plans to field three cars next season.
Keselowski drove the No. 2 Ford for Penske before driving the No. 6 Ford Mustang with RFK. When he joined the team, he explained RFK wanted the number to honor Mark Martin, the eventual NASCAR Hall of Fame driver who Roush built his team around.
