MEXICO CITY (June 15, 2025) — It was a historic day at Autódromo Hermanos Rodríguez, as the NASCAR Cup Series made its Mexico City debut. Roush Fenway Keselowski Racing secured a place in the history books as well, with Ryan Preece winning the first stage of the event. Chris Buescher led the team with a 10th-place finish, while Preece earned his third career stage win with a strong opening segment. Brad Keselowski showed poise and adaptability in his 50th career road course start.

No. 6 Brad Keselowski 

Brad Keselowski marked a personal milestone with his 50th career NASCAR Cup Series road course start, approaching the event with a strategy-first mindset. Starting 30th, he immediately gained a position and stayed composed as weather quickly became a factor. A caution for rain prompted a switch to wet tires, and Keselowski avoided a multi-car incident shortly after. As the track dried, the No. 6 team returned to slicks on Lap 17 and closed Stage One in 27th.

Stage Two highlighted Keselowski’s veteran skill and adaptability. Restarting 14th, he steadily worked his way toward the front, driving the Castrol Ford into the top 10 by Lap 32. The 2012 Cup Series champion remained focused on improving his line and communicated consistently with the team. After getting bumped off track briefly, Keselowski regained control and continued to push. A pit stop three laps before the stage end dropped him to 27th, but set him up with fresher tires for the final run.

With a long-run strategy in place, Keselowski began Stage Three with a tire advantage over much of the field. However, a stop-and-go penalty mid-stage for shortcutting a corner set him back. Undeterred, he gained ground in the closing laps, ultimately finishing 25th.
