NASCAR veteran Jason Keller good to go for 10 races

Veteran Jason Keller, the Busch Series - now Nationwide Series - leader in starts, will run at least the first 10 races of the season with CJM Racing. If additional sponsorship is found, Keller could run the whole season with the team.
"On the one hand we are happy to be at Daytona knowing we are secure for at least the first 10 races, but then again it’s also difficult knowing we might only be around for 10 races," said Keller.
"The team is coming into this season with a positive attitude and we hope to make some impressive runs and draw some attention to ourselves."
Keller ran 15 races with CJM last season with a season's best sixth-place finish at the June race at Nashville.
