NASCAR schedules mysterious team announcement amid RFK Racing upheaval

Summary

NASCAR has scheduled a 'Team Announcement' for Saturday, October 3, at Las Vegas Motor Speedway, just after RFK Racing announced that Brad Keselowski will leave the organization at the end of the 2026 season. The vague announcement lacks specific details, including the team and driver involved. RFK Racing will hold its own media availability later that day. Keselowski’s departure leaves RFK needing to find a new driver for the No. 6 Ford and to restructure its competition leadership. The situation creates an environment of speculation about potential deals and direction for RFK's future in the Cup Series.
