Keselowski began to compete in the Busch Series full-time in 2007. Keselowski raced the No. 23 Chevrolet Monte Carlo SS for Keith Coleman Racing until the team was shut down in July. Keselowski was selected earlier in June by Germain Racing to take over Ted Musgrave's place in the No. 9 Team ASE Toyota Tundra for the O'Reilly 200 at Memphis after Musgrave was disqualified for an in-race scuffle with another driver at the Milwaukee Mile. Keselowski was the first driver to win his pole of the season, and took the lead for the race for sixty-two laps. However, Travis Kvapil took the lead in the battle for the lead with ten laps to go. Keselowski wound up finishing 16th. Keselowski was then contacted by Dale Earnhardt Jr. shortly afterward to take the No. 88 United States Navy-sponsored Chevrolet for JR Motorsports for three races before the end of the Busch Series season. During the Camping World 300 at California Speedway, Keselowski was involved in an accident with A. J. Allmendinger and J. J. Yeley. Keselowski was able climb out of the wrecked car however, he complained of foot pain. Keselowski was discharged from Loma Linda University Hospital Medical Center after being treated. He was permitted to race in Richmond the following weekend. Keselowski completed the 2007 season with five top 10 races and a twenty fifth finish in points.
