KELLER’S THOUGHTS ON THE 2008 SEASON:

“This season has been filled with so many highs and lows. The team has
worked so hard and has done an incredible job with the race cars. We fell out
of the top-10 after Watkins Glen and now the goal is to get ourselves back up there in the points and make Big Guy proud.”

KELLER’S THOUGHTS ON BRISTOL:

“Bristol has always been one of my favorite race tracks. We had a strong car in the spring but the rain came and ended our day early. We’re bringing the same car so hopefully we’ll get that top-10 that eluded us the last time around.”
