Will Brad Keselowski’s Recent Success Continue This Weekend At COTA?
1 year agoBrad Keselowski, fresh off back-to-back top-five finishes, will start 36th in Sunday's EchoPark Automotive Grand Prix at Circuits of the Americas (COTA) in Austin, TX. While the last two weeks have given the RFK Racing driver-owner a much-needed shot in the arm, do not expect the streak of top-five finishes to continue at COTA. Despite having what will end up being a hall-of-fame career, Keselowski has struggled on road courses throughout his 17 Cup seasons. In his 42 Cup starts on road courses, he has yet to win and has just 11 top-10 finishes, the last of which occurred in August 2021. With this said, while his performances on road courses are concerning, he is averaging 58.23 DraftKings points in the two races using the aerodynamic package that will be used on Sunday. Even if his score drops by 40% this weekend, he will still hit value because his DraftKings salary is just $6,900. This is where the gamesmanship of DFS comes into play. Although his struggles on road courses make it impossible to justify betting on him, his low salary combined with his recent success make him someone you will want to have exposure to when building your DFS lineups this weekend.

Brad Keselowski Will Be Worth Rostering This Week At Homestead
1 week agoBrad Keselowski of RFK Racing earned a starting position of 32nd after qualifying for Sunday's Straight Talk Wireless 400 at Homestead-Miami Speedway. Keselowski was the lowest-qualifying driver of the three RFK entries for this week's race. In 17 starts at Homestead, Keselowski has 13 top-20 finishes with seven inside the top 10. After five races so far this season, Keselowski has two top-20 finishes, but they were both scored in the last three Cup races, and he captured positive Place Differential three times. In practice, Keselowski ranked 12th in overall lap averages and displayed top-20 speeds in the 15-30 consecutive lap average categories. Based on his massive upside from his starting position, equipment, and overall track history at Homestead, expect Keselowski to move through the field into the top 20, making him one of the best overall DFS picks of the week.

Brad Keselowski Qualifies Deep In The Field For Las Vegas
2 weeks agoRFK Racing's Brad Keselowski will start 27th for the Pennzoil 400 at Las Vegas Motor Speedway. Keselowski was the worst qualifier of the three RFK entries for this week's race. In 23 starts at Las Vegas, Keselowski has three wins and 17 top-20 finishes, including four since joining RFK for the 2022 Cup Series season. With four races completed so far in the 2025 season, Keselowski has one top-20 finish and two DNFs. In practice for this week's race at Vegas, Keselowski ranked 10th in overall lap averages but displayed speeds outside of the top 20 in all other categories. Keselowski's track history at Vegas makes him worth consideration for cash game lineups, especially with a high DFS ceiling, but his practice speeds and 2025 performance to date make him difficult to recommend for tournaments.
