Overview
- RFK confirmed Corey LaJoie will drive the No. 6 Ford in the Feb. 1 Bowman Gray exhibition and serve as Keselowski’s standby at the start of the season.
- Keselowski fractured his right femur in a Dec. 18 ice slip during a family ski trip and underwent emergency surgery in Boone, N.C.
- He is completing six-to-eight hours of daily rehab directed by Atrium Health, reporting improving nerve function and increasing mobility.
- Under NASCAR’s closed-test rules, he plans a Feb. 5 evaluation at Charlotte Motor Speedway to demonstrate readiness for the Feb. 15 Daytona 500.
- He says clearance depends on being off prescribed pain medication, walking and getting in and out of the car effectively, and showing signs of bone regeneration.
