1 week agoIt has been a rough start to the 2025 NASCAR Cup Series season for Brad Keselowski and the No. 6 team. Through the first seven races of the year, Keselowski has zero top-10 finishes and only two results better than 26th. Could that change this weekend at Darlington Raceway, though? You have to think there's a decent chance. Darlington is one of Keselowski's best tracks on the schedule, as he is the defending spring race winner at this track and has finished seventh or better in four of the last five races here. The exception? A 14th-place result last fall. Not too shabby. This weekend, BK qualified 20th for Sunday's Goodyear 400 and looked pretty strong in practice, ranking second-fastest when it came to 15-lap average. When asked about the rough start to his season, Keselowski mentioned, "I feel like we're doing all the right things and get to where we need to be, we just haven't gotten the results." Maybe this is the weekend he finally gets the finish he deserves. Keselowski is priced at $8,000 on DraftKings this weekend and his Place Differential upside as well as his strong track history makes him a viable DFS option in all formats on Sunday.

2 weeks agoBrad Keselowski sits 30th in points and right now stands as 2025's biggest disappointment, as he has no top-10 finishes and two crashes and he hasn't even seriously contended anywhere with a best average running position this year of 20th in a year when Keselowski's teammate Chris Buescher has earned four top-10 finishes. These trends continued at Martinsville, where Keselowski qualified 27th to Buescher's sixth, even though Keselowski is historically great here and Buescher has never shown much. Although both of Keselowski's wins in 2017 and 2019 came with the Gen 6 car and he hadn't done much with the Next Gen at Martinsville, that all changed in last year's fall race when he led a race-high 170 laps despite only finishing ninth. But that came with his old crew chief Matt McCall, who was replaced with Jeremy Bullins this year. Based on that race, Keselowski should be good for a ton of place-differential points on paper for DFS, but it's a big risk since he's hardly had any speed anywhere all year.

3 weeks 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.

4 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.
