MADISON, IL (September 13, 2026) – Brad Keselowski delivered one of his strongest performances of the season Sunday at World Wide Technology Raceway, charging from 23rd into contention for the win behind the wheel of the Castrol Ford Mustang. With impressive speed and consistently strong pit stops from the No. 6 crew, Keselowski led 55 laps and remained among the frontrunners throughout much of the afternoon. A third-place finish in Stage Two further highlighted the team’s competitive pace, but a series of late-race cautions disrupted its strategy and cost Keselowski valuable track position. Despite the setbacks, Keselowski continued to battle until the checkered flag, ultimately finishing 12th in a race that showcased the team’s potential.
