Keselowski’s agreement with Team Penske expires at the end of the current season. However, there doesn’t appear to be any urgency to make a new deal. In February, Keselowski’s teammate Ryan Blaney agreed to an agreement expansion. Contract terms weren’t announced by Team Penske authorities but it is a multi-year deal. After that, all eyes were on Brad’s possible contract extension with Team Penske.

Keselowski has been reputed to be taking over for retiring Hendrick Motorsports driver Jimmie Johnson. However, Hendrick hasn’t revealed anything about Johnson’s possible replacement. In an interview, Keselowski stated that he isn’t campaigning for the Hendricks seat, or some other seat.

He said, “I’m not dialing out, yet on the off chance that somebody dials in, I will absolutely tune in, without a doubt.”

Additionally, there were talks that Keselowski will retire at the end of the 2020 season. However, he posted a tweet denying his retirement rumors on Twitter.
