- Primary Driver: Brad Keselowski’s 2026-10-31 release clears his path to hunt a 2027 NASCAR seat and sell his RFK Racing stake, igniting immediate speculation.

The move was confirmed by ESPN and NASCAR.com, which noted the split cleared his path to race elsewhere. The release followed an agreement on an ownership split with RFK Racing, as detailed by NASCAR.com. Keselowski told Racing News he feels he “controls his own destiny” after the deal, echoing comments in the Yahoo Sports interview where he broke silence on retirement speculation at Martinsville.
The consensus across the outlets points to a negotiated settlement that separates his driver role from his equity position. Details of the stake sale and prospective 2027 team remain thin. While ESPN highlighted the ability to seek a new ride, it did not disclose the terms of the ownership split.
Jayski noted the freedom to pursue options but offered no insight into potential suitors. No timeline for the stake transaction has been provided, and sponsors linked to a possible new team have not been named. What price Keselowski will command for his RFK share and which team he may join next are still unknown.
