KELLER’S THOUGHTS ON THE FUTURE:  

“I’m so proud of where this race team is at and where we’ve come from. I’d like
to become more and more competitive with CJM Racing and of course I would
like to win a championship. I’m really trying to live in the moment these days. I’m only 38 years old so I feel like I’ve got many, many more years left in the Nationwide Series and hopefully it will be with CJM Racing.”

KELLER’S THOUGHTS ON CHICAGOLAND SPEEDWAY:

“Chicagoland is still a fairly new track on our schedule and this week will be the first time we’ve raced under the lights there. Regardless of the time the race starts this week, the strategy will still remain the same. Fuel mileage and how your pit strategy plays out will have a huge impact on the outcome of this race. I’m hoping we can produce another solid finish this Friday night.”
