PHOENIX, AZ (November 2, 2025) – RFK Racing closed out the 2025 NASCAR Cup Series season with a strong showing at Phoenix Raceway, highlighted by a runner-up finish from Brad Keselowski, a top-10 effort from Ryan Preece, and a solid performance from Chris Buescher. Across the 312-lap season finale, the three Ford Mustangs battled through handling challenges, strategic pit stops, and late-race restarts to showcase the team’s speed, resilience, and execution as the season came to a close.

6 Brad Keselowski
Brad Keselowski capped the 2025 NASCAR Cup Series season with a thrilling runner-up finish Sunday afternoon at Phoenix Raceway, leading the field on the final lap of overtime before being passed in the closing corner. Starting 19th, Keselowski and the No. 6 Castrol Ford team methodically worked forward throughout the 312-lap event, showing steady pace and strong execution all day.

Keselowski settled into the top 20 early, reporting a good ride overall but some difficulty on corner exit. The opening 60 laps ran caution-free, and he finished Stage One in 19th. After a solid pit stop, he restarted 17th to begin Stage Two and quickly climbed to 14th before handling changes and strategy shuffles dropped him back outside the top 20. A mid-stage caution allowed the No. 6 team to reset, and Keselowski regained ground to finish 18th in Stage Two.

The No. 6 came alive in the final stage as Keselowski advanced into the top 15 shortly after the restart, cracking the top 10 by lap 258. A quick pit stop under caution gained two more spots, putting him seventh for the restart. From there, he held steady inside the top 10 before a late caution brought the field to overtime.

Crew Chief Jeremy Bullins made the bold call to stay out, placing Keselowski on the front row for the final restart. He surged to the lead on the white-flag lap and appeared headed for victory before Ryan Blaney slipped by in the final turn, leaving Keselowski to finish second.
