KELLER'S THOUGHTS ON LAST WEEKEND AT TEXAS: 

 

"We had some problems early on with the handling but we kept working on the car and Todd made some really great pit calls so we were able to walk out of there with a strong finish. Our mile-and-a-half program is getting stronger and stronger and I'm very happy with the results we're getting."

 

KELLER'S THOUGHTS ON PHOENIX INTERNATIONAL RACEWAY:

 

"I enjoy racing at Phoenix but my luck hasn't been so great over the last couple years. It just seems like anything that could go wrong does when we head out west. But we've had a good run of luck over the last few weeks, with sponsorship and the competition side of things, so I'm hoping that will follow us over into Phoenix."
