NASCAR: 5 possible landing spots for Brad Keselowski in 2021
By Asher Fair
Brad Keselowski has the potential to be one of the hottest free agents on the market for the 2021 NASCAR Cup Series season. Where will he end up competing next year? Here are five possible landing spots.
Entering the 2020 NASCAR Cup Series season, 2018 champion Joey Logano was the only one of Team Penske’s three drivers who had a contract lined up to compete past the end of the 2020 season, and his deal runs through the 2023 season.
But just three races into the 36-race season, 2012 champion Brad Keselowski found himself as the only Team Penske driver without a contract lined up to compete in 2021 and beyond.
Ryan Blaney, who signed with the team on a multi-year deal ahead of the 2018 season, signed a multi-year contract extension that is believed to run through at least 2023.
Keselowski stated that he and Roger Penske’s organization, the team for which he has driven throughout his entire career as a full-time Cup Series driver, have not yet begun the negotiating process, and he also had a few other interesting things to say when pressed about the matter.
He delivered a swift below to a rumor that he may retire after the 2020 season, but he did not rule out leaving the driving duties of the #2 Ford to another driver.
He stated that he would not be pursuing other options on his own by “dialing out”, but that he would certainly listen if another team were to dial in.
So where will Brad Keselowski end up competing in the 2021 NASCAR Cup Series season? Will he stick around for what would be his 11th season as a full-time driver at Team Penske, or will he leave for another team?
Here are five possible landing spots.
