Key Motorsports developing 2008 Nationwide Series program:

Currently a full-time competitor in the Craftsman Truck Series, Key Motorsports took ownership this week of its first four NASCAR Nationwide Series cars. This new race car fleet may soon expand by as many as four additional cars as the organization gears up for the addition of a Nationwide Series program to compliment its truck racing activity. “With NASCAR now going full-time with the COT cars in the NASCAR Sprint Series starting next season, field should open up and allow organizations like ours to compete. We see an opportunity to expand our program into that circuit to provide our sponsors with some alternatives,” Key explained. “If we get enough sponsorship to do this thing right, the Nationwide Series operation will operate independently and with its own people. If not, we will enter cars in selected races, hire a few people to manage the cars and use some of our truck team people to make sure we send a car to the race track that will be capable of qualifying and racing,” Key added.(Key Motorsports PR)(10-10-2007)
