Brad Keselowski’s 2025 NASCAR season has been plagued by a string of DNFs, leaving fans and experts questioning if it’s just bad luck or a deeper issue within the team. The latest blow came at the AdventHealth 400 in Kansas, where Keselowski faced yet another wreck, forcing him to retire from the race.
This marks the third consecutive DNF for Keselowski in the Cup Series, bringing his total to five for the season – the second-highest in his career. What’s alarming is that out of 12 races, the #6 driver has already suffered five DNFs, raising concerns about the team’s performance and reliability.
The recent wreck at Kansas was particularly devastating, as Keselowski was running in second place before a tire blowout sent him crashing into the fence. Despite showing promise throughout the race, misfortune struck once again, highlighting the unpredictable nature of the sport.
While some may attribute Keselowski’s DNFs to bad luck, questions remain about the team’s setup and preparation. The driver himself acknowledged the challenges, mentioning the significant changes within the team compared to the previous year but expressing optimism for the future races.
In addition to Kansas, Keselowski’s DNFs at Texas, Talladega, Phoenix, Atlanta, and Daytona have raised red flags about his standings in the competition. Currently sitting in 33rd place with 148 points, Keselowski faces an uphill battle to turn his luck around and salvage the season.
As the NASCAR season unfolds, all eyes will be on Brad Keselowski and his team as they strive to overcome this streak of setbacks and emerge stronger in the races to come. The pressure is on for Keselowski to prove that he can rise above the challenges and reclaim his position among the top contenders in the Cup Series.
