NASCAR driver Brad Keselowski gets contract extension from Team Penske after 3rd win of season Sunday

CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) — Brad Keselowski finally got a contract extension from Team Penske, announced the day after NASCAR’s 2012 champion won his third race of the season.

Keselowski has been open in his desire to remain with the organization where he gave Roger Penske his first NASCAR championship. The 10-week shutdown because of the coronavirus pandemic prolonged extension talks but a deal was announced Monday.

Terms were not released, but a person familiar with the contract said the extension is one year through 2021.

Keselowski won Sunday at New Hampshire and trails only Denny Hamlin (five wins) and Kevin Harvick (four) in Cup wins this season. All three of Keselowski’s victories have come since the season resumed in May and with a new crew chief.

Keselowski’s deal was announced as NASCAR prepares to race twice this weekend at Michigan International Speedway, his home track.
