Nissan Motor Acceptance Company (NMAC) and INFINITI Financial Services (IFS) announced today the expansion of their innovative SignatureFLEX lease program to include drivers with legacy leases maturing on Feb 1. 2025 or after.

The expansion reflects a continued shift in driving patterns, with 10,000-mile leases now surpassing 12,000-mile options as the most popular choice with Nissan and INFINITI lease customers. Demand for ultra-low 5,000-mile leases is also rising, doubling over the past two years.

"SignatureFLEX is an innovative lease program that puts customers first by offering them the flexibility to manage mileage needs while avoiding lease-end overage penalties," said Jim DeTrude, vice president, NMAC Sales & Marketing. "By including legacy leases in the program, we’re enabling a more customized lease experience to better fit their lifestyles while reducing unexpected costs."

Since launching in October 2022, SignatureFLEX has been a game-changer for lessees. Customers across both brands have purchased over 30 million additional miles through the program, collectively saving $4.5 million in overage fees. The new access for legacy leases builds on this success by offering significant savings—additional miles are priced at $0.10 per mile compared to lease-end overage penalties of up to $0.25 per mile.

Eligible customers can purchase additional mileage through the NMAC and IFS web portals or mobile apps. As a further enhancement, daily maximum purchase amounts have been removed, which gives customers the flexibility to purchase as many miles as they need in one transaction, whenever they need to.

Starting in 2025, vehicles equipped with compatible connected car technology will also enable in-vehicle mileage purchases. This feature will provide drivers with an even more seamless experience, including automatic, personalized notifications about their current and projected lease mileage.

CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) — NASCAR driver Brad Keselowski, a former series champion who is now co-owner of RFK Racing, broke his leg in a skiing accident, the team announced Friday.

Keselowski underwent surgery Thursday and doctors have told him to expect a quick recovery that will have him back for the season-opening Daytona 500 in February. He is winless in 16 starts in the showcase race as he enters the final years of his driving career.

“Life has a way of reminding you to slow down,” Keselowski posted on social media with photos of him in the hospital surrounded by his wife and children, an image of the break, and video of him using a walker. “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!”

Keselowski, who turns 42 just days before the Feb. 15 “Great American Race,” is entering his 17th full season of racing at the top Cup Series level. He spent the bulk of his career at Team Penske but purchased a stake in Roush Fenway Racing in 2022 and became an owner/driver of the rebranded team.

The organization is reeling from Thursday's fatal plane crash that killed longtime Roush driver Greg Biffle and six others, including his wife and two children. Biffle had retired by the time Keselowski joined the team.

“First and foremost, our hearts remain heavy with the news of yesterday's tragic events,” the team said. "The RFK Racing family, as well as the NASCAR community, as a whole, continues to keep those close to The Biffle Family and all those affected in our thoughts. Albeit untimely, we feel that in the interest of transparency we share RFK Racing co-owner and driver Brad Keselowski suffered a broken leg while on a ski trip with his family Thursday.”

The team called the surgery “routine” and said doctors expect a “a quick and full recovery.”

Keselowski broke his ankle in 2011 when he crashed during a test session and won a Cup Series race at Pocono just days later.

“I'm grateful to the medical team who took great care of me and for the support system around me,” Keselowski said in a statement. “I'm motivated to get back to full strength as quickly as possible and will work relentlessly to be ready for Daytona.”

Keselowski won the 2012 Cup Series championship for Penske and has 36 career victories at NASCAR's top level. He won the Xfinity Series title in 2010 and 39 races in NASCAR's second-tier series. He has won one points-paying race since leaving Penske as he works to help rebuild RFK into the once-proud organization founded by Hall of Fame team owner Jack Roush.

Chase Elliott, NASCAR’s most popular driver, missed six races in the 2023 season when he broke his leg in a snowboarding crash early in the season. Kyle Busch missed 11 races when he broke his leg in a crash at Daytona in 2015 but recovered to win the Cup championship that year.
