KELLER’S THOUGHTS ON THE UPCOMING RACES:  

We’re getting a bit of a variety over the course of the next month so it makes
things even more interesting. We’ve got two stand-alone events and then we
finish it off with road-course racing in Montreal and then our final road-course
event of the season in Watkins Glen. It’s a change of pace and will definitely challenge me as a driver and the team all together.”

KELLER’S THOUGHTS ON CHICAGOLAND SPEEDWAY:

"Gateway brings back a lot of memories. I remember my very first visit there I finished second and then a couple years later Kevin Harvick and I went back and forth for the lead like five times in the closing laps. A win has eluded me up to this point but who’s to say we couldn’t bring home a trophy this time around.”
