Brad Keselowski will join Roush Fenway Racing as a driver and co-owner in 2022, as Motorsport.com initially reported.

Keselowski, 37, has competed for Team Penske since joining the NASCAR Cup Series full-time in 2010.

He won his first Cup title with ‘The Captain’ in 2012 and has won 34 races with the club. He is, however, taking on a new adventure after 12 seasons with the respected institution.

The May rumor by Motorsport.com that Keselowski would be the next driver/owner in NASCAR’s top level has now been confirmed. In 2022, he will join Roush-Fenway Racing.

Initially, Keselowski sought an ownership stake in Penske, but due to the team’s structure, this was not possible.

He’ll drive the No. 6 Ford Mustang for Roush and have a minority ownership stake in the company. Keselowski will also be the team’s competition committee’s head.

After exploring expanding a third team, team president Steve Newmark says they’ve looked into the potential of a part-time option for current driver Ryan Newman. Newman, on the other hand, has yet to make a decision on his 2022 plans.

“I’m truly excited about this partnership with Brad,” said co-owner Jack Roush. “I think it will bring a lot to the organization, from not only Brad’s ability behind the wheel, but a rejuvenation and fresh perspective across our teams. I’ve had the opportunity to watch Brad for a number of years, as he has fought and clawed his way up the ladder, molding himself into a champion and one of the top drivers in our sport. I’ve always admired his resolve and determination. I’m very pleased that he has chosen to be a part of our organization and I’m proud to partner with him moving into the future.”

Roush established the team in 1988 and has since won 137 Cup races as well as two championships in 2003 and 2004.

“I am thrilled to be able to share the news about this next venture with my fans, peers, and the industry,” said Keselowski. “This presents an opportunity to continue my on-track success with a strong team and a long-term commitment, but also dive into my passion of team ownership where I know I can be an asset to the future of the team. I am optimistic about what Jack, John and I can accomplish together, especially with a new era for our sport on the horizon (with the Next Gen car). Our goal is to win races and compete for championships at NASCAR’s top level, and we plan to do just that.”
