DARLINGTON, SC (March 22, 2026) – Brad Keselowski delivered his strongest performance of the season Sunday at Darlington Raceway, leading a race-high 142 laps and sweeping both opening stages in the Solomon Plumbing Ford Mustang. Sporting a paint scheme honoring Greg Biffle, Keselowski established himself as the car to beat early and battled at the front throughout the afternoon. He retook the lead with 44 laps remaining and ultimately finished second, capping a dominant day that showcased the speed and strength of the No. 6 team.

Honoring Greg Biffle with a tribute paint scheme reminiscent of ‘The Biff’s’ 2009 July Daytona livery, Brad Keselowski was determined Sunday. After a season-best qualifying effort, he rolled off fifth in the Solomon Plumbing Ford Mustang. And it didn’t take long before he showed his strength, climbing to third in the opening laps. By lap 47 he was the leader. With spotter TJ Majors guiding him on lap times and tire management, Keselowski controlled the field and capped off a dominant opening run with a Stage One victory.

Stage Two only reinforced Keselowski’s strength. Although he restarted third, after pitting between stages, he wouldn’t be held back. Quickly, the two-time Darlington winner, moved to second and began posting faster lap times than the leader. A caution on lap 112 initiated pitstops. Keselowski took tires and restarted strong, as he catapulted from third to first almost immediately. In a statement moment for RFK Racing, he led a 1-2-3 formation with teammates Chris Buescher and Ryan Preece close behind. Even through green flag pit cycles, Keselowski maintained control, ultimately winning Stage Two.

With two stage wins already, Keselowski and crew chief Jeremy Bullins set their sights on finishing the job. A caution, and subsequent pit stop, during the final stage briefly set them back to 11th, but Keselowski worked his way through the field. One by one he clicked off positions, finally retaking the lead with 44 laps to go. Though Keselowski finished second after leading an impressive 142 laps, his performance was a clear statement of speed.

“It was a good day for RFK Racing,” said Keselowski. “To have all three cars be super competitive. Win the first two stages. For a while it looked like Chris Buescher was going to win. For a while it looked like I was going to win, and Ryan wasn’t far behind us. But in the end, we didn’t quite have the pace, but the teams are executing really well and doing great work.”
