KELLER’S THOUGHTS ON THE DRIVER POINT STANDINGS:

“It’s a great feeling knowing we’ve broke into the top-10. It’s been several years
since I’ve been in this sort of position and I’m happy to be back. I’m very proud
of this team. Our season started out pretty poorly. We had a string of bad luck and the results just weren’t showing the hard work that went into this program. To be able to come back into Daytona this season with some solid finishes, great momentum and a top-10 position in the driver standings means a tremendous amount to me and this team.”

KELLER’S THOUGHTS ON DAYTONA INTERNATIONAL SPEEDWAY:

“My luck hasn’t been very good at the superspeedway tracks. It’s not a secret that I have struggled at these tracks and this season the two superspeedway tracks we’ve been to I’ve gotten tangled up in an accident. I’m hoping that this momentum we have going will translate into a solid finish at Daytona. We’re still searching for that top-5 finish this season and there would be no better place than Daytona.”
