Keselowski signs multi-year Penske extension

Brad Keselowski will remain with Team Penske for years to come as the two sides have agreed on a contract extension.

Team Penske announced the news Tuesday morning, but did not specify the length of the contract other than to say it was a multi-year deal. Keselowski will continue to drive the No. 2 Miller Lite Ford, which he drove to the 2012 Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series championship, the first in the Monster Energy NASCAR Cup series for Roger Penske.

"In the time that Brad has driven for Team Penske, he has risen to the top echelon of stars in NASCAR," Penske said. "Brad and [crew chief Paul Wolfe] have established a terrific, winning combination and they are both real leaders within our team.

"More than just wins and championships, Brad is an important part our relationship with Ford Performance and his work with the Checkered Flag Foundation shows what kind of person he is away from the track. There is no question he continues to be a great fit for our organization."

Of his 23 career wins, Keselowski has won 22 of them since joining Team Penske in 2009. He has also won 29 Xfinity Series races with the organization as well as the 2012 championship. Over the last few years, Keselowski has been a part of Team Penske's three Xfinity Series owner's championships.

"Roger and everyone at Team Penske have given me everything we need to win championships at the highest levels of NASCAR," said Keselowski. "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."

The Keselowski-Wolfe will remain intact as Wolfe also recently signed a contract extension. With two wins already this season, the No. 2 team is locked into the playoffs with a chance to compete for another championship.

"There is no one I want helping make my racecars go fast more than Paul Wolfe," Keselowski continued. "We have a lot of continuity between the two of us, and really the entire No. 2 Ford team, which is so important in today's NASCAR. With partners like Miller Lite, Alliance Truck Parts, Wurth, Autotrader, Fitzgerald Glider Kits, Discount Tire and Ford Performance in our corner, I feel like we have the strongest overall program in the sport."
