Chris Buescher Signs Extension with RFK Racing

- On Tuesday, June 16, 2026, RFK Racing announced a multi-year contract extension for Chris Buescher, securing the 33-year-old driver's future with the Ford-backed team for the foreseeable future.
- Speculation previously swirled regarding Buescher's future because RFK Racing is losing one of its three charters next season after selling a leased charter from Rick Ware Racing to Legacy Motor Club.
- Team co-owner Brad Keselowski praised Buescher's 'professionalism, preparation and commitment,' while RFK Racing President Chip Bowers said the signing reinforces the organization's commitment to competing for race wins and championships.

- Elsewhere in the garage, The Wood Brothers announced last week that Josh Berry will not return to the No. 21 Ford, while Corey Heim will drive the No. 35 Toyota for 23XI Racing next season.
