KELLER’S THOUGHTS ON THIS SEASON AND STRATEGY:

“Well a lot has changed since we started out the season in Daytona. We all came
into this deal knowing we might not be around after the first 10 races unless a
sponsor was found. We are very grateful to say that we now have a great sponsor,
America’s Incredible Pizza Company, and now we have changed our strategy to compete for a top spot in the points race. The pressure is really on each and every week to perform the best that we can.”

KELLER’S THOUGHTS ON RICHMOND INTERNATIONAL RACEWAY:

“When asked what track is my favorite track, nine times out of ten I’ll say Richmond International Raceway. The track is a driver’s track. You don’t have to run single file. There are multiple grooves out on the track that allow you to pick and choose what works best for your set-up. I’ve always run strong there and it is definitely one of those tracks I look forward to going back to every year. ”
