Brad Keselowski, NASCAR Cup Series driver and part-owner of RFK Racing, has provided a fresh Brad Keselowski injury recovery update after undergoing surgery for a broken leg. The 41-year-old suffered the injury during a skiing trip and has since detailed his journey from the hospital bed to stepping toward recovery, with fans and family closely following his progress.
After the accident, Keselowski underwent what his team called routine surgery. The medical team delivered encouraging news with a statement:
“doctors expect a quick and full recovery,”
according to the official release. This news arrived just after a difficult moment for RFK Racing, as former team driver Greg Biffle lost his life in a plane crash in North Carolina, adding emotional weight to Keselowski’s situation.
Sharing Recovery Moments With Family and Fans
Following surgery on December 19, Keselowski posted updates on social media, including an X-ray image, humorously referring to his treated limb as his “bionic” leg, and photographs from his recovery room. These images showed him surrounded by his wife, Paige White, daughters Scarlett and Autumn, and sons Maize and Sterling, highlighting the role his family has played through his healing process.
Not long after surgery, Keselowski recorded a significant milestone—his first steps post-operation aided by a walker in the hospital. He marked the moment with his followers online, writing,
“Life has a way of reminding you to slow down,”
Brad Keselowski, driver & team co-owner. He also expressed his gratitude for those supporting him and signaled his determination to recover for the Daytona event:
“Grateful for my family by my side, an excellent medical team, and the ability to take a few steps forward today. Focused on Daytona. Bonus – I’m now bionic!”

Heading Home and Adjusting to Bed Rest
Three days after his surgery, Keselowski left the hospital feeling optimistic, sharing,
“Rolling out of the hospital and officially on the road to recovery. Grateful for incredible care and a smooth ride home in my @Ford Expedition. Ready to be home for the holidays!”

“When you’re down but not out. PB&J time with Maize while serving broken leg bed time sentence.”

During his recovery at home, Keselowski found entertainment in holiday traditions, confirming he had watched “Christmas Story” multiple times and that Bing Crosby remained the soundtrack for his family during the festivities.
Focused on A Swift Return to the Track
Looking to the future, Keselowski has already set his sights on rejoining the NASCAR circuit. He declared,
“motivated to get back to full strength as quickly as possible and will work relentlessly to be ready for Daytona.”

There is anticipation around whether Keselowski will participate in the Cook Out Clash season opener at Bowman Gray Stadium on February 1, though RFK Racing has yet to announce their full plan for the No. 6 Ford for that event.
The support of his family—including his daughters, Autumn and Scarlett, and sons, Maize and Sterling—alongside encouragement from his team, doctors, and fans, has given Keselowski both comfort and drive during his recovery. The racing community continues to watch for updates as he aims to be back on track in the coming weeks, showing resilience and a passion to compete again at the highest level in NASCAR.
