Busch Series Veteran Keller to Drive for Kleenex® Racing,
Brewco Motorsports
Central City, Kentucky (January 23, 2007) - Brewco Motorsports Inc. announced today that NASCAR Busch Series veteran Jason Keller will be behind the wheel of the No. 27 Kleenex® Ford for five races in the 2007 season. Keller will team up with No. 27 Crew Chief Stewart Cooper for Busch Series races at Nashville Superspeedway (April), The Milwaukee Mile, O’Reilly Raceway Park, Gateway International Raceway, and Kentucky Speedway.
“I’m excited for the opportunity to work with Brewco again, and with a sponsor like Kleenex® and Kimberly-Clark,” said Keller. “I’ll be driving at tracks where I have a lot of experience, and have had some success, so I’m really looking forward to the challenge.”
Keller has an impressive record at the five tracks where he will run the No. 27 Kleenex® Ford this year. In 13 starts at O’Reilly Raceway Park alone, Keller has amassed one pole, two wins, seven top-five and nine top-10 finishes. Over 50 starts at the five tracks, he has three wins, 23 top-five and 29 top-10 finishes.
Keller has teamed-up with Brewco previously, making his 400th career Busch Series start driving for the team last year at O’Reilly Raceway Park. He also had prior seat time in Brewco’s No. 66 Ford Fusion, having stepped in for Greg Biffle during Busch Series stand-alone events at Nashville, Kentucky and Martinsville Speedway.
Keller made his Busch Series debut in 1991 and ran the series full-time from 1995 to 2005. In those 11 full-time seasons, he finished in the top-10 in final driver’s points nine times.
“Kimberly-Clark is the longest-standing continuous primary sponsor in the NASCAR Busch Series and what better way to enhance that sponsorship than by having a veteran like Jason in our car,” said Stephen Abdo, Director of Motorsports at Kimberly-Clark. “Jason is well-respected in the stockcar world, and we know he’ll be a great ambassador for our brands, including our Kleenex®, VIVA® and Scott® family of products.”
