NASCAR transports Brad Keselowski's vehicle to R&D center for inspection

NASCAR officials have taken the No. 6 RFK Racing car driven by Brad Keselowski to the official R&D center following the Southern 500 at Darlington Raceway. Keselowski finished the event in 23rd place after dealing with multiple on-track incidents. While transporting a vehicle to the facility does not confirm a rules violation, the move signals a potential risk for the team. NASCAR has previously issued significant points penalties to teams found in violation of technical specifications during the NextGen era. While most vehicles cleared for further review pass subsequent evaluations, the organization remains focused on technical compliance across the Cup series field.
