RFK Racing announced Friday afternoon that Brad Keselowski underwent successful surgery after suffering a broken leg during a ski trip on Thursday with his family.
The news came from the RFK Racing team that he co-owns and drives for in the NASCAR Cup Series. The organization indicated the 41-year-old veteran aims to be ready in time for the season-opening Daytona 500 on Feb. 15 (2:30 p.m. ET, FOX, HBO Max, MRN Radio, SiriusXM NASCAR Radio).

“I’m grateful for the medical team who took great care of me and for the support system around me,” Keselowski said in a statement. “My attention now is fully on recovery. I’m motivated to get back to full strength as quickly as possible and will work relentlessly to be ready for Daytona.”
Life has a way of reminding you to slow down. Grateful for my family by my side, an excellent medical team, and the ability to take a few steps forward today. Focused on Daytona. Bonus – I’m now bionic! pic.twitter.com/AZD2ejHGgc

Keselowski, the 2012 Cup Series champion, finished 20th in last season’s Cup Series standings with six top-five finishes that included three runner-up efforts. He enters the 2026 season seven starts shy of 600 for his Cup Series career.
Keselowski became part-owner of the organization founded by Jack Roush in the summer of 2021, and the team relaunched as RFK Racing for the next season. RFK expanded to a three-car operation last season, with Ryan Preece joining the group as a new teammate to Keselowski and Chris Buescher.
