According to recent reports, NASCAR driver Brad Keselowski will soon sign a contract extension with his current team. The recent strong performance puts Brad in a stronger position to negotiate for a better deal with Team Penske.

Brad’s current contract with Team Penske expires at the end of 2020. And he wasn’t offered an extension earlier when his teammate Ryan Blaney was offered a long term deal. However, after NASCAR returned from the COVID-19 lockdown, the driver had a spree of strong shows on the track.

NASCAR journalist Adam Stern reports that Roger Penske will offer Brad an extension in the coming days. He reveals in a tweet. He said, Brad @Keselowski has still not received a contract extension offer from @Team_Penske as of late last week, per source.”
