NASCAR star Brad Keselowski shares latest health update at Darlington

Brad Keselowski has given an update on his continued recovery from a broken femur, after his best race of the NASCAR Cup Series season at Darlington.

The RFK driver and co-owner led a race-high 144 laps on Sunday, but eventually finished second to Tyler Reddick after the 23XI Racing star overcame an alternator issue to win his fourth race of the year.

The result extends Keselowski's winless streak to 65 races, stretching back to the 2024 edition of the same Goodyear 400 at Darlington, but the result and performance was an encouraging one for a veteran still recovering from a serious injury.

Speaking to the media after the race, the 42-year-old revealed that being in the car is actually more comfortable for him than being out of it.

Keselowski: Darlington a great day for RFK

Keselowski was also asked what it would've taken for him to win the race, admitting: “A lot. Tyler was really, really fast. Those problems earlier in the race that he got kind of buried and he was just methodical. He did a great job. He took the fastest car and ran an amazing race.

"When he was by me he was way faster. We had to fall into racing the track and even at the end I think he was managing it pretty hard, so, all in all, it’s a great day for us. We won two stages, led a lot of laps, scored a bunch of points, so a lot to be proud of.”

He continued: “It’s great. I was joking when we walked out of the garage area last night after qualifying that we’re on the right side of the garage area. Our hauler is parked to the right side and we’re just showing ourselves as a team that is highly capable.”

Asked the key question about his leg, he replied: “I feel my best in the car. You get a little adrenaline pumping and that position is not so bad on my leg. It sucks standing up. It sucks getting out of the car, but in the car I feel great.”
