MARC MITCHELL ON THE OPPORTUNTIY TO RACE WITH CJM RACING:

“I am honored to be picked by such an up-and-coming team as CJM Racing.  They are obviously dedicated to winning races and I hope to be a part of that success.  To be able to jump in and learn from guys like Jason Keller and Todd Gordon, people who have tasted success in this sport, will help me tremendously.  I expect to be a better racecar driver because of this opportunity.”

MARC MITCHELL ON HIS RELATIONSHIP WITH ERGON:

“We’ve had plans to enter two Busch races, with Ergon as the sponsor, since the beginning of the year.  Both Ergon and I feel very fortunate to have this opportunity with CJM Racing.  I would not have this chance were it not for the great people that work at Ergon.  All of the employees are really behind this program.  It is an awesome feeling to have that kind of support.”

MARC MITCHELL ON THE MILWAUKEE MILE:

“Milwaukee will be a new track for me.  I do have some Nationwide Series experience so it won’t be like I am jumping into a totally foreign car.  Again, this goes back to having a great team behind me.  That will help a ton as I get used to the track.  You know, Jason is unbelievable at Milwaukee so I am sure I will be leaning on him for a lot of advice.”
