One day after winning, the NASCAR driver renews contract
Since 2009, Brad Keselowski has been a driver with Team Penske in the NASCAR Cup Series. He took over the No. 2 full-time in 2010 as Rusty Wallace went into retirement.
Keselowski rolled into 2020 as a contract year. He was looking for a new ride or a contract extension for 2021.
Keselowski now has 3 wins in 2020. That brings his win total to 33 after 397 career events.
On Sunday, Brad Keselowski drove to victory lane at New Hampshire Motor Speedway. One day later, a renewal has been signed.

“I have been racing for Team Penske for the vast majority of my NASCAR career and to continue to represent Roger Penske, our partners and his organization is exactly where I want to be,” Keselowski stated.
“We’ve accomplished a lot of things together over the years, including winning both the Cup and Xfinity Championships, the Brickyard 400, the Southern 500 and the Coca-Cola 600.”
“Now, my goal is to win the Daytona 500, another championship and continue to build Team Penske into the best NASCAR team in the garage area.”
This move takes a premier ride out of the running as an open seat for 2021.
