Brad Keselowski

Brad Keselowski has easily established himself as one of the veterans of the NASCAR garage, and one of the most respected, both on and off the track. Now in his fourth season as a co-owner of RFK Racing, Keselowski has remained a consistent face and contender at NASCAR’s highest level for the past decade, having tallied 36 wins in NASCAR Cup Season competition while qualifying for the NASCAR Playoffs 10 of the last 11 seasons. A two-time NASCAR Champion, Keselowski put himself back in victory lane in 2024, earning his first victory since joining the RFK family. He ultimately finished 13th in the points standings, securing what was his 10th playoffs appearance since 2014. Keselowski’s victory at Darlington – the first for the No. 6 car since 2011 – was the highlight of the 2024 campaign, which saw him earn nine top-five results, his career-best since joining RFK. He led the Cup Series with four runner-up finishes, and overall led laps in 17 different races. As he embarks on his 16th full-time season in 2025, Keselowski ranks near the top in several categories. He’s tied for third among active drivers in career wins (36), fourth in career starts (557), and fourth in total top-10s (263). Keselowski helped turn RFK into a real threat in 2023 as both of its Cup Series entries advanced to the NASCAR Playoffs. His teammate, Chris Buescher, won three races in a span of five weeks as the No. 17 team ultimately finished seventh in the points standings, just missing out on a Championship 4 berth. Keselowski finished just behind in eighth, as the two were in the mix all season long, earning the eye of the Cup garage, media, and fans alike. Keselowski’s 14th full season in the Cup Series saw the No. 6 earn 16 top-10 results, seven of which were in the top five. He and the No. 6 team finished eighth in average race finish, the second-biggest improvement in NASCAR from 2022. He and the team’s qualifying efforts improved dramatically, ranking 12th in qualifying results, also the second-largest jump in the garage. Keselowski’s pit crew earned the Mechanix Wear Most Valuable Pit Crew Award, a veteran group that continually kept and pushed him into positions of success throughout the 36-race season. Despite not visiting victory lane himself, Keselowski notably pushed Buescher to victory lane in the Daytona summer event, firmly locking both Fords into the playoff picture. He was the winner of six stages throughout the season, tied for third-most of any driver in the field. In some ways, Brad Keselowski’s 2022 season had a rookie stripe in his first year as driver and co-owner at RFK Racing. A rookie owner, first time joining a new team in more than a decade, and a new, NextGen race car were all fresh starts and a learning curve. The 2022 season got off to a roaring start with Keselowski winning the opening Duel race ahead of the Daytona 500, as RFK swept both qualifying races at the lead in to NASCAR’s version of the Super Bowl. The No. 6 team backed that up with a ninth-place run in the 500 itself. Keselowski picked up his first win as an owner at the Bristol Night Race when teammate Chris Buescher stunned the field and won a playoff race, as RFK led more than half the laps that night. Keselowski backed that up a week later by earning the pole at Texas Motor Speedway, one of nine top-10 qualifying efforts total for the No. 6 team. Keselowski closed the 2020 Cup Series season ranked second in the standings for his best season finish since he won the title in 2012. He also produced an average finishing position of 10.1 to equal his career-best mark. After he earned a spot in the NASCAR Playoffs for the ninth time in the last 10 seasons, Keselowski raced his way into the Championship 4 as he advanced to the final round for the second time since the Cup Series’ elimination format was introduced in 2014. Keselowski and the No. 2 Ford team captured four NCS victories in 2020, highlighted by an overtime win in the Coca-Cola 600 on Memorial D
