Brad Keselowski said he "plans to address" questions over his future ahead of this weekend's penultimate race of the NASCAR Cup Series Chase as he prepares to become a free agent at the end of the 2026 season.

RFK Racing announced at the end of last month that Keselowski, 42, would be parting ways with the team at the end of the year, with the split ultimately stemming from a fundamental misalignment over his timeline for transitioning from the driver's seat to full-time team management.

RFK Racing leadership and Fenway Sports Group wanted Keselowski to wind down his driving duties over the next one to three years and step into a full-time, 24/7 competition director role, yet the NASCAR star stated he is "nowhere near ready to be done as a driver."

Keselowski said he wants to focus solely on driving for the next five or more years, but because his roles as a driver, minority owner, and competition boss were structured under a single, interconnected five-year contract, the impasse regarding his future driving timeline meant the entire agreement could not be renewed.

As a result, the No. 6 Ford Mustang Dark Horse driver will now leave RFK Racing at the conclusion of the 2026 NASCAR Cup Series season, though just where he might end up next is yet to be seen.

However, following plenty of speculation and questions over his next moves, Keselowski has now issued a statement confirming that he will provide clarity over his future ahead of the Xfinity 500 at Martinsville Speedway this weekend.

"The outpouring of support and interest in my future racing plans over the past few weeks has been truly humbling. From the bottom of my heart, thank you," Keselowski said in a statement issued Tuesday.

"I know there are still questions, and I plan to address several of them during my press conference Saturday morning at Martinsville Speedway.

"I sincerely appreciate everyone's patience, encouragement and continued support. It means more than you know."

Keselowski sits 19th in the NASCAR Cup Series points standings ahead of Sunday's race, leaving him out of the high-stakes playoff battle that will culminate for the final four drivers in the coming weeks.

He heads into the weekend with zero wins and two Top-5 finishes to his name for the 2026 season, but will undoubtedly be hoping to pull off one or two surprises in the final two races of 2026 as his time with RFK Racing comes to a close.

Keselowski is a 36-time winner in the Cup Series, ranking 25th all-time, just ahead of current points leader and two-time champion Kyle Larson.

Larson, who holds a massive 73-point lead over second-place Denny Hamlin in the standings ahead of the Xfinity 500 at Martinsville on Sunday, can be crowned the NASCAR Cup Series champion this weekend if he ends the day with a 76-point cushion or greater.
