NASCAR is performing a deeper inspection process after the 2026 Southern 500 at Darlington Raceway this weekend. Brad Keselowski’s No. 6 car for RFK Racing has been taken to the NASCAR R&D Center for further inspection after Darlington, the sport announced. Keselowski finished in 23rd place on Sunday night.
The RFK Racing driver has struggled over the last few months and had another tough night after multiple incidents. NASCAR taking Keselowski’s No. 6 car to the R&D Center doesn’t automatically mean something is wrong; however, it does heighten the risk of a potential penalty.
