Former Cup Series champion Brad Keselowski pilots the #6 Ford for RFK Racing, competing full-time in the NASCAR Cup Series. At 40, he has accumulated 76 wins across all NASCAR divisions, including 36 in the Cup Series and 39 in Xfinity. Keselowski also captured the Xfinity Series title in 2010 with a dominant performance, adding to his list of accolades as one of NASCAR's top competitors.

Keselowski was involved in a multi-car wreck in the South Point 400 at Las Vegas Motor Speedway. On lap 90, Martin Truex Jr. was closing in on HMS driver Chase Elliott, who 23XI Racing's Tyler Reddick was overtaking from the outside line. Truex Jr. nudged Elliot's #9 Chevy, which further sent Reddick's #45 Toyota into the wall.
