From RFK Racing
Roush Fenway Keselowski (RFK) Racing and Brad Keselowski today announced that Keselowski will conclude his tenure as driver of the No. 6 Ford Dark Horse Mustang following the 2026 NASCAR Cup Series season, bringing to a close an important chapter for both Keselowski and the organization.
“We are big fans of Brad as a person, driver, and colleague. 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. “He was not simply driving the No. 6 car but investing himself in the future of the team and helping us think differently about what RFK Racing could become. We have tremendous respect for Brad as a champion, competitor, and leader, and we are grateful for the energy and commitment he has brought to RFK. 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. With several races still ahead, we look forward to competing together through the remainder of the season.”
Keselowski joined Roush Fenway Racing as a co-owner in 2021, with the organization becoming Roush Fenway Keselowski Racing ahead of the 2022 season, when he also began driving for the team. Over the past five years, he has played a significant role in helping shape the team’s competitive direction by modernizing its efforts with an ambitious commitment to process and technology.
Keselowski will remain behind the wheel of the No. 6 Ford Dark Horse Mustang through the remainder of the 2026 season. RFK Racing and Keselowski intend to collaboratively and mutually work through the appropriate next steps regarding his existing ownership interest in the organization, and the team supports his desire to explore his career opportunities elsewhere.
RFK Racing remains committed to competing as a three-car NASCAR Cup Series organization in 2027 and will continue its active pursuit of a third charter. The team will announce future plans for the No. 6 team at the appropriate time. The search for a new head of competition, a position previously held by Keselowski, will begin immediately.
RFK Racing will continue to operate under the ownership of Roush Enterprises, building on Jack Roush’s decades of success in NASCAR, and Fenway Sports Group, a diversified global sports platform. Both ownership groups remain firmly committed to RFK Racing and its long-term success.
