KELLER’S THOUGHTS ON LAST WEEKEND AT LAS VEGAS MOTOR SPEEDWAY:

“What a crazy week it was all together. We finally got to race in California on Monday and then it was back to business just a few short days later. Overall I was very happy with the car when we unloaded it at Las Vegas. It was fast and I knew we would be strong heading into the race Saturday afternoon. Unfortunately it feels like we have a black cloud following over us in the closing laps of these races. Almost the same scenario played out in Vegas as in Daytona. Down to the closing laps and we fall victim to circumstance with on-track accidents. My crew chief Todd Gordon made a good call though and worked on the car to keep us out on track and not receive a DNF. Those extra few laps gained us some positions on track and in the standings.”

KELLER’S THOUGHTS ON ATLANTA MOTOR SPEEDWAY:

“I’m pretty excited to head into Atlanta this weekend. America’s Incredible Pizza Company will be with us again and I hope to turn our luck around and get them (and my team) their first top-10 finish of the year. We are bringing a strong car that we used last year and after some tweaking in the off-season I know this car will be competitive right off the hauler.”
