Failure to Align on Future Plans Led to RFK/Keselowski Split
Keselowski said the split had been in the works for months as RFK Racing prepares to keep three teams in 2027.
- Brad Keselowski announced his departure from RFK Racing earlier this week, ending his tenure as driver and co-owner. His partnership with Jack Roush and the Fenway Group, which began in 2022, concludes at season's end.
- The 42-year-old Cup champion described his exit as 'a hell of a ride,' confirming his racing career will continue. He is gathering 'opportunities' and plans to decide his next move in the coming months.
- Teammates Chris Buescher and Ryan Preece expressed optimism about the team's future. Buescher said Saturday at Las Vegas Motor Speedway, 'we've got a lot of really sharp people' and a strong foundation established during Keselowski's tenure.
- RFK Racing remains committed to operating three teams in 2027, potentially keeping Buescher and Preece in charter entries. Keselowski's position could operate as an Open entry next season.
- Preece emphasized the organization's house 'needs to keep being built' as the team transitions forward. Buescher noted competing against Keselowski will challenge them, knowing exactly what the Cup champion is capable of achieving.
