Rochester Hills' Brad Keselowski has signed a multi-year extension to continue running for Roger Penske and Team Penske in the Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series, the team announced on Tuesday.

The team also signed an extension with Keselowski's crew chief, Paul Wolfe.

The 33-year-old has won 23 races in the Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series, including the 2012 championship.

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

On top of his 23 wins, Keselowski has also won 29 races in the NASCAR Xfinity Series.

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

He is the second-winningest driver in Team Penske history, behind Mark Donohue. Keselowski is only eight wins behind Donohue.
