The Story in 60 Seconds

Brad Keselowski has been granted his release from RFK Racing, making him a free agent eligible to drive for any organization and manufacturer in 2027. The former Cup Series champion had joined Jack Roush and the Fenway Group in 2022 as both a driver and co-owner. However, after five years together, the split occurred due to a disagreement over his role, as Keselowski wished to continue driving while the team preferred he transition solely to competition management.

Following the release, Keselowski will sell his 20% equity stake in RFK Racing. Although he acknowledged it is late to finalize a contract for the upcoming campaign, he expressed confidence in securing a new seat and confirmed he is open to speaking with all manufacturers.
