2024 NASCAR season in review: Brad Keselowski

Brad Keselowski returned to Victory Lane in 2024, scoring his first Cup win since joining RFK Racing as an owner/driver ahead of the 2022 season.

Keselowski also made the playoffs for a second year in a row and had seven top-three finishes in 36 points races (19.4%) this past season.

RFK Racing will see a series of changes, including a new crew chief for Keselowski in Jeremy Bullins and a third car for the organization. Ryan Preece will be a new teammate to Keselowski and Chris Buescher in 2025.

WHAT WENT RIGHT: Keselowski won for the first time since joining RFK Racing as an owner/driver ahead of the 2022 season. Keselowski had his most top-five finishes (nine) in his three seasons at RFK. He made the playoffs for a second year in a row. Keselowski had four runner-up finishes and two third-place results in 2024.

WHAT WENT WRONG: Finished 15th or worse in eight of the 10 playoff races. While he led 170 laps in the Martinsville playoff race, he led 148 laps in the other 35 points races this past season. Eliminated in the first round of the playoffs.

BRAD KESELOWSKI SAID: “We want to win races (as a company). We want to win more races. We’ve won six races over the last three seasons … we want to be able to do that in one season. That would be a good mark for us (RFK Racing). Certainly we want to put all of our cars in the playoffs.”

WHAT TO EXPECT IN 2025: Brad Keselowski will have a new crew chief in 2025. Jeremy Bullins reunites with Keselowski. They won 14 Xfinity races from 2012-14 and five Cup races from 2020-21. The crew chief change is among the many personnel changes, including adding a third full-time Cup car, the organization is making in the offseason.
