Charlotte, N. C. – Brad Keselowski finally got a contract extension from Team Penske, announced the day after NASCAR’s 2012 champion won his third race of the season. Keselowski, from Rochester Hills, has been open in his desire to remain with the organization where he gave Roger Penske his first NASCAR championship. The 10-week shutdown because of the coronavirus pandemic prolonged extension talks but a deal was announced Monday. Terms were not released, but a person familiar with the contract said the extension is one year through 2021. The person spoke to the Associated Press on condition of anonymity because the team did not disclose details. Keselowski won Sunday at New Hampshire and trails only Denny Hamlin (five wins) and Kevin Harvick (four) in Cup wins this season. All three of Keselowski’s victories have come since the season resumed in May and with a new crew chief. “We are pleased that Brad will continue to be a part of our organization,” Penske said. “Brad not only demonstrates talent and skill on the track, but his leadership away from it and his dedication to our partners have had a huge impact in making our organization one of the best in NASCAR.” Keselowski’s deal was announced as NASCAR prepares to race twice this weekend at Michigan International Speedway, his home track.
