Brad Keselowski granted release to explore NASCAR rides, will sell stake in RFK Racing

Brad Keselowski has been granted permission to explore other NASCAR opportunities for the 2027 season and will sell his 20% equity stake in Roush Fenway Keselowski Racing. Keselowski, who has been a driver, competition executive, and part-owner of the team for five years, announced his departure from the Cup Series team last month but had been restricted from pursuing other rides despite his driving contract expiring after 2026.

The team granted him a verbal release on Saturday, allowing him to drive for any team or manufacturer in NASCAR next season. Keselowski expressed his eagerness to engage in opportunities as a driver, owner, or manager in the Cup Series or the Craftsman Truck Series, where he could potentially become the first champion in NASCAR's top three national series.
