On Thursday of last week, Brad Keselowski, 2012 NASCAR Cup Series champion and co-owner of RFK Racing, broke his leg while on a ski trip with his family.
Keselowski underwent successful surgery and after a few days in the hospital he was released. He promised to “work tirelessly” to be ready to compete at the highest level of stock car racing in 2026.

“I’m out of the hospital and officially on the road to recovery,” Keselowski posted on social media. “I am grateful for the incredible care and smooth ride home in my Ford Expedition. Ready to come home for the holidays! »
Keselowski, who drives the No. 6 Ford, hasn’t missed a Cup race since becoming a full-time driver in 2010, although he suffered an ankle injury during the 2011 season.
The veteran driver has some time to recover before the new season officially begins. The Clash at Bowman Gray Stadium will take place on February 1, but this event does not count towards the championship. The 68th edition of the Daytona 500 will take place two weeks later, on February 15.

Keselowski is 41 years old and has 36 Cup victories. However, he and all of RFK Racing remained winless in 2025, with all three cars narrowly missing the playoffs. Keselowski came agonizingly close to several victories and took three second-place finishes, including the Phoenix finale when he lost the lead in the final seconds of the race.
