CJM Racing, owned by brothers Tony and Bryan Mullet, has undergone a major revamp since hitting the NASCAR circuit mid-season 2006. The team, under the direction of former championship team owner Greg Pollex, will take to the NASCAR Busch Series with a new driver, new crew and a new look next month at Darlington Raceway.

CJM Racing along with Global Performance group is proud to announce that driver Jason Keller will wheel the No. 11 Force Protection Chevrolet Monte Carlo under the lights at the track notoriously noted as 'Too Tough to Tame' on Friday, May 11th.

"What an exciting time for everyone at CJM Racing. Not only is this our inaugural race in the Busch Series, it also marks Force Protection's inaugural appearance in the NASCAR ranks. Having a company such as Force Protection join forces with us for this momentous occasion signifies good things to come for this organization," explained team owner Bryan Mullet.

Force Protection, Inc. has become the nation's leading center for blast technology and counter improvised explosive device research as it designs, manufacturers, tests, delivers and supports blast and mine protected vehicles throughout the world. In addition to the sponsorship, fans will have an opportunity to view the impressive Force Protection's life saving vehicles first hand, as the Buffalo, Cougar and Cheetah vehicles will be predominately featured throughout the Darlington race weekend.

"Force Protection and its high performance workforce are excited about this new opportunity. Not only will our vehicles be on display, we will get to see our company colors and logo race around the track at high speeds," said Force Protection CEO Gordon McGilton.

Darlington will mark the first of several races in 2007 that driver Jason Keller and CJM Racing will run in the NASCAR Busch Series. The new relationship brings about some old faces, with Keller reuniting with previous team owner Greg Pollex and now Crew Chief Todd Gordon. CJM Racing looks forward to building on the already impressive record set by the Pollex and Keller pairing where they accumulated nine wins, seven poles, 67 top-five and 112 top-10 finishes.
