Brad Keselowski and Team Penske have agreed on a multi-year contract extension that will see the 2012 Cup Series champion continue to drive the No. 2 Penske Ford “well into the future.”

Keselowski joined Penske in 2009 and three years later delivered team owner Roger Penske his first NASCAR premier division championship. The 33-year-old has won all but one of his 23 Cup Series wins driving a Penske-owned car.
Keselowski’s contract was set to expire at the end of the 2017 season. The exact length and terms of the new deal were not disclosed.
“Roger and everyone at Team Penske have given me everything we need to win championships at the highest levels of NASCAR,” Keselowski said. “As I have said all along, Team Penske is where I want to be and I am thrilled to continue with the organization well into the future. I have a lot of years left in the sport and I truly feel our best years are ahead of us.”
In addition to Keselowski agreeing to a new contract, crew chief Paul Wolfe also signed an extension. Wolfe has guided Keselowski’s No. 2 team since 2011 and has been Keselowski’s crew chief for each of his 22 wins with Penske. The two are considered among NASCAR’s best driver-crew chief pairings.
“In the time that Brad has driven for Team Penske, he has risen to the top echelon of stars in NASCAR,” Roger Penske said. “Brad and Paul have established a terrific, winning combination and they are both real leaders within our team.”
