  "account": "RFK Racing president Chip Bowers discussed Brad Keselowski's departure from the organization on Saturday in Las Vegas. Keselowski, who co-owns RFK Racing, will step away from the team at the end of the 2026 NASCAR Cup Series season. The split occurred because the team had envisioned Keselowski in a competition role while he desired to keep racing. Despite efforts to find a middle ground, the vision of the two parties did not align.\n\nBowers emphasized the importance of a committed competition director for RFK Racing to compete with NASCAR's top teams. He stated, \"Just weren't aligned.\" Meanwhile, Keselowski aims to continue racing for some more years and is open to opportunities in the sport, though he does not wish to focus solely on driving. Keselowski expressed appreciation for his time at RFK Racing, calling it \"a hell of a ride,\" but acknowledged there is still work to be done.",
