Team Penske Boss Gives an Update on the Future of Brad Keselowski

Yesterday, Team Penske boss Roger Penske gave a much-awaited update on the future of Brad Keselowski with the team. Brad’s contract expires at the end of 2020 and negotiations for an extension are still underway.

Roger Penske said in an interview with SiriusXM NASCAR Radio, “We certainly want to work something out with Brad, that’s meaningful for him and meaningful for us”

Keselowski’s agreement with Team Penske expires at the end of the current season. However, there doesn’t appear to be any urgency to make a new deal. In February, Keselowski’s teammate Ryan Blaney agreed to an agreement expansion. Contract terms weren’t announced by Team Penske authorities but it is a multi-year deal. After that, all eyes were on Brad’s possible contract extension with Team Penske.

He said, “I’m not dialing out, yet on the off chance that somebody dials in, I will absolutely tune in, without a doubt.”

Additionally, there were talks that Keselowski will retire at the end of the 2020 season. However, he posted a tweet denying his retirement rumors on Twitter.
