Brad Keselowski granted NASCAR release to explore 2027 rides

Summarised from 2 outlets · Updated 31 Oct, 16:55 · Archive

Brad Keselowski has been granted permission to pursue other NASCAR racing opportunities for the 2027 season after being restricted from exploring rides despite his driving contract expiring after 2026. He announced his departure from Roush Fenway Keselowski Racing, the Cup Series team he joined five years ago as driver and part-owner, a month ago but could not meaningfully engage with other teams until receiving the verbal release on Saturday.

Keselowski will sell his 20% equity stake in the team and said he has received a number of outreaches from other organisations but declined to specify details. 'I'm ready to be elite for the next opportunity, whether driver, owner or manager,' he said in a prepared statement. 'Now that I've been granted the release, I can meaningfully engage in the opportunities that exist.'

Keselowski expressed a preference to remain in the Cup Series but said he would also consider racing full time in the Craftsman Truck Series, which would give him a shot at becoming the first champion in NASCAR's top three national series. He has longtime ties with Dodge, which reentered the truck series with its Ram brand this season and is considering a move into the Cup Series next year.
