Brad Keselowski of RFK Racing will start in the 30th position after qualifying for Sunday's Wurth 400 at Texas Motor Speedway. Keselowski's starting position for this week's race is the lowest of his Cup career at the site since 2010. In 29 starts at Texas, Keselowski has 21 top-20 finishes with 14 inside the top 10. Through the first 10 races this season, Keselowski has three top-20 finishes with an average finish of 26.1, with his best finishing result of 11th being earned at Las Vegas, the closest comparable to Texas of the tracks the Cup Series ran in 2025. In practice, Keselowski ranked 24th in overall lap averages while showcasing top-15 speeds in the 10, 20, 25, and 30 consecutive lap average categories. With highly favorable practice speeds, fantastic track history, and plenty of upside, Keselowski is one of the top drivers of the week for DFS at $7,600 on DraftKings.

Brad Keselowski of RFK Racing had high hopes for a strong performance at Talladega Superspeedway, but ended with disappointment through a finish of 36th during Sunday's Jack Link's 500. Beginning the race from the 22nd position, Keselowski quickly made his way up through the field at the start of the first stage. The No. 6 Ford driver made it as high as the top three, but never made it to the lead. After riding with the pack for most of the first stage, the first round of pit stops came up, and Keselowski looked to pit with other Ford drivers on lap 43. Unfortunately, Kyle Busch got up to the side of Keselowski and lost control of his car, colliding with the No. 6 Ford and causing a multi-car crash. Keselowski sustained too much damage from this incident and was unable to continue, settling for a 36th-place finish, his worst result at Talladega since October 2016, when he failed to finish due to an engine failure.

If Brad Keselowski is going to make the Playoffs this season, it's looking more and more likely that he's going to have to win a race to get in. After nine races completed this season, Keselowski sits in 31st-place and 68 points below the current cut line. He has yet to finish inside the top-10 this year. Everything could turn around at Talladega Superspeedway this weekend, though, as this is one of Brad's best tracks on the NASCAR schedule. He's a six-time winner at Talladega and has finished inside the top 10 in half of his 32 career starts here. With that extremely impressive résumé, Keselowski is always a popular DFS option when the NASCAR Cup Series stops at this track. This weekend, he qualified back in 22nd-place for the Jack Link's 500, which means his ownership percentage should go up even more on Sunday. There's a strategy play at being underweight on Keselowski compared to other DFS players this weekend, but can you really go against a driver that has won at this particular track six different times?

Unlike his contemporary Kyle Busch whose speed at Bristol markedly declined after he switched from Joe Gibbs Racing to Richard Childress Racing, Brad Keselowski has retained a lot of his speed there even after switching from Team Penske to RFK Racing. The three-time Bristol winner led 109 laps in the 2022 Bristol Night Race, the first with the Next Gen chassis and he probably would have won had he not blown a tire, then added an eighth and a third in his next two starts but was surprisingly lackluster last time, which eliminated him from the playoffs. The main issue is that Keselowski (who starts 16th today) has run terribly all season since replacing crew chief Matt McCall with Jeremy Bullins; he hasn't had an average running position better than 20th yet. On paper, Keselowski seems like one of the best options for DFS especially at $7,800, but his poor season performance suggests he likely won't have any speed.
