“Its hard to believe we are having our last road-course race this weekend. It seems like just yesterday we were in Mexico City. Watkins Glen is my favorite road-course track out of the three. The area is beautiful and I like the way that the track is laid out. I haven’t raced there since 2005 so hopefully it will all come back to me in our first practice session.”

KELLER’S THOUGHTS ON THE SEASON:

“We’ve accomplished so much in a short amount of time and I’m very proud to be the driver of the No. 11 America’s Incredible Pizza Company Chevrolet. We’re working hard to maintain our point’s position and give the Pizza Company and CJM Racing their first ever trip to the championship banquet at the end of the year.”
