YOUR THOUGHTS ON HEADING INTO THE 2008 SEASON:

“It’s a mixed reaction. One the one hand we are happy to be coming into Daytona knowing we are secure for at least the first 10 races but then again it’s also Difficult knowing we might only be around for 10 races. The team is coming into this season with a positive attitude and we hope to make some impressive runs and draw some attention to ourselves. The sponsorship search continues and we all remain optimistic that something will come together and allow us to compete for the championship.”

KELLER’S THOUGHTS ON DAYTONA INTERNATIONAL SPEEDWAY:

“I’m feeling pretty confident coming into the season opener. The CJM guys built me a great Superspeedway car which tested very well down here last month. I also had an opportunity to help GEM out in the Cup test session so I have logged a lot of laps at DIS already. Come race time it will be a nail bitter. This track is always a shootout till the very end. If your aerodynamics package is good and you have some drafting help there is no doubt that you can finish in the top-10 and that’s what we’re hoping to do.”
