Roush Fenway Keselowski (RFK) Racing and Brad Keselowski are parting ways after the 2026 NASCAR Cup Series campaign, with Keselowski ending his tenure as driver of the No. 6 Ford Mustang Dark Horse.
“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.”

RFK Racing is committed to fielding three NASCAR Cup Series entries in 2027, and remains in active pursuit of a third charter. Details on the driver of the No. 6 Ford Mustang Dark Horse will be announced at a later date.
The organization will continue to operate under the ownership of Roush Enterprises, building on Jack Roush’s success in NASCAR, and Fenway Sports Group, a diversified global sports program. Both ownership groups remain firmly invested in the team and its long-term future.
“I’m incredibly proud of what we’ve accomplished at RFK over the past five years and grateful for the people I’ve had the opportunity to work alongside, including at Roush Enterprises and Fenway Sports Group,” Keselowski said in a statement on Tuesday.

“So many great people have poured a tremendous amount into the competitive and technical transformation of this year, and I’ll always value the relationships we’ve built, everything we’ve experienced togaether, and what I learned as a co-owner and as the head of competition. I’m nowhere near ready to be done as a driver. I still have a lot I want to accomplish in this sport, and I’m looking forward to what comes next. I’m thankful for everyone who has been part of this journey and for the fans who continue to support me. I look forward to sharing future plans when the time is right.”
