Keselowski Leaves RFK Racing
Brad Keselowski to Leave RFK Racing and Ownership Role After 2026
Anonymous
Brad Keselowski will leave RFK Racing after the 2026 season, ending his tenure as both driver of the No. 6 Ford and co-owner of the team he joined in 2022. The 2012 Cup Series champion says he is not ready to retire and wants to continue racing, but his plans beyond this season remain unclear. The New York Times reports, citing anonymous sources, that disagreements with Fenway Sports Group over the team’s direction contributed to the split and that Keselowski will likely give up his ownership stake. RFK has said it remains committed to a three-car operation, though reports differ on whether a third entry will return in 2027 as the team addresses its charter situation. Keselowski has one win with RFK; teammates Chris Buescher and Ryan Preece both made this season’s Chase, while Keselowski did not.
