Brad Keselowski has explained why he wiped his social media accounts, and it has everything to do with his next move.
Keselowski’s accounts went dark Tuesday night and came back Wednesday morning with a single post: a photo of six vehicles from his career and the message “Proud of where I’ve been. Ready for what’s next.” Pit This Time reported that he has six options for 2027.
Speaking Wednesday at Ford’s Proud to Honor Veterans Day event at Daytona International Speedway, Keselowski said the wipe was about a fresh start.
“Yes. On to the next chapter, my friend. There were some significant professional reasons to make sure that whatever next opportunity I have to announce, when it’s time to announce it, isn’t burdened by any of the past.”

‘More So a Lot of Imagery’
Pressed on those “significant professional reasons,” Keselowski said it wasn’t about opinions he had posted.
“Well, no, not necessarily opinions, but probably more so a lot of imagery and photography of different race vehicles, things that I have achieved or not achieved, crashed.
“Could have been any one of those two lately. And, you know, where I’m going and the things that I’m doing, you know, I want to stand on its own.”
‘I’m a Look-Forward Guy’
Asked if he got emotional about his last race for RFK Racing, the team he co-owned, Keselowski said he hasn’t had time to look back.
“You know, I’m not a look-back guy,” he said. “I’m a look-forward guy.
“And although I haven’t got everything, you know, done yet for the forward part, as it gets closer, it just consumes all my time, energy, and mental space.
“So I haven’t really spent a lot of time really having the emotions of the past.”
A Decision Coming ‘Soon’
Keselowski said he has not made his decision for 2027, but it is close.
“No, but one will come soon. I’m pretty confident I’ll have something here in the next 30, 60 days. And it’ll be fun and exciting.”
At Homestead last weekend, Keselowski said his options include driving for another team, becoming an owner with another team or working in the TV booth. He has made guest appearances as an analyst on FOX Sports broadcasts and on Prime’s studio desk. He also said “nothing’s off limits,” including a full-time Truck Series ride.
Keselowski, the 2012 Cup champion, is leaving RFK Racing and will remain a passive investor until he sells his 20% share.
