Here are some of the reactions from the NASCAR garage to the news that Brad Keselowsk is leaving RFK
There was some shocking news this week that Brad Keselowski is departing RFK Racing. It’s probably the biggest story of the year.
The 42-year-old is a co-owner of the NASCAR Cup Series team as well as the driver of the No. 6. The team wanted Keselowski to step back from his driving role and step fully into the management side of the company.
Brad disagreed. Per his statement, he intends to keep driving. No deal has been announced regarding 2027 but he’s deep into talks with other teams.

Brad Keselowski stated, “There’s still a lot of things to work out. I can’t really go into details of how we got to where we are at least at this time until a few more things develop.”
He added, “Yeah, again I’m not going to get into all things RFK at this time… next month or two things will become a lot clearer and then I’ll cover it from there.”
Chase Elliott is NASCAR’s most-popular driver. But days after the announcement, Elliott had yet to hear about this. Instead, he found out when he arrived at the track in Las Vegas…
