Hampton, GA (June 28, 2025) – Brad Keselowski came within a few car lengths of victory, Chris Buescher earned another solid top-10, and Ryan Preece rallied late in another strong outing for RFK Racing. All three RFK drivers delivered, leading a combined 64 laps, and each advancing to the next round of NASCAR’s In-Season Challenge with determined and competitive performances.

6 Brad Keselowski

Winning – it’s the only thing Brad Keselowski is focused on as the regular season winds down. It’s his most direct path to the playoffs and his efforts were fully concentrated on that Saturday night at EchoPark Speedway. Keselowski fired off 6th and quicky proved the Consumer Cellular Ford was among the cars to beat. With drafting help from RFK teammate Ryan Preece, Keselowski quickly picked up two positions and was running with the leaders when weather briefly halted Stage One. Once the skies cleared and the green flag waived again, the 6 car surged to a second place Stage One finish.

With a strong car confidence was rising heading into Stage Two, but there would be adversity. Although Keselowski took evasive action, he was unable to completely avoid a multi-car crash at lap 70. Undeterred, the 6-team – led by crew chief Jeremy Bullins – went to work. Stopping the car several times on pit-road they assessed the damage which appeared to affect the steering. Repairs were made and Keselowski continued to be competitive. He rejoined the competition mid-pack but by the end of the segment, he again picked up stage points with a tenth place finish in Stage Two.

Between stages the team continued to work on the car, giving Brad something he could contend with. He did just that, rocketing toward the front to eventually take the lead at lap 184 of the 260 lap race. Keselowski continued to swap the lead with others during the closing laps, leading a total of seven times for 46 laps. Coming to the checkers he engaged in a battle with Alex Bowman and eventual race winner Chase Elliott, bringing home a second place finish. In the process he also advanced to the next round of NASCAR’s In Season Challenge, by finishing well ahead of his first-round matchup, Kyle Busch.
