CONCORD, NC (October 5, 2025) – RFK Racing put together a solid showing at the Charlotte ROVAL on Sunday, led by Chris Buescher’s fourth-place finish and Ryan Preece scoring a career-best sixth at the road course. Both drivers ran inside the top five during the final stage, using smart strategy and consistent pace to climb through the field. Brad Keselowski also showed strong speed, racing into the top 10 before a mechanical issue cut his day short and left him 35th.

6 Brad Keselowski
Brad Keselowski showed solid pace and forward progress in Sunday’s race at the Charlotte ROVAL before a mechanical failure ended his day early. Starting 22nd, Keselowski moved into the top 20 within the opening laps and noted the car was handling better than it had in practice. He stayed out during Stage One to conserve a set of tires for later, finishing 30th as part of a long-run strategy.

After restarting 32nd in Stage Two, Keselowski steadily climbed through the field in his No. 6 Castrol Ford, reaching 18th by lap 44 as one of the biggest movers in the stage. A scheduled stop on lap 47 helped set the No. 6 team up for the final segment, and he ended Stage Two in 23rd while preserving fresher tires for the closing laps.

Keselowski restarted 11th in the final stage and quickly broke into the top 10. He cycled as high as sixth following green flag stops, but a pit stop on lap 82 went wrong when the jack fell mid-stop. Shortly after, on lap 90, Keselowski reported a broken transaxle — believed to have occurred during that final stop — which ended his race. He was credited with a 35th-place finish despite showing strong potential throughout the day.
