Keen Parts sponsoring Ryan Ellis, Alpha Prime Racing in six races in 2023

Keen Parts will sponsor Ryan Ellis in six races during the 2023 Xfinity Series season, Alpha Prime Racing announced over the weekend.

Ellis, who will be driving the No. 43 Chevrolet in at least 24 races, will first adorn the Keen Parts colors at Darlington Raceway in mid-May. Keen Parts will also sponsor Ellis at Nashville Superspeedway (June 24), Road America (July 29), Michigan International Speedway (Aug. 5), Homestead-Miami Speedway (Oct. 21) and Martinsville Speedway (Oct. 28).

Ellis has been tied to Keen Parts since he was a full-time employee at Go Fas Racing, working in the marketing department. Last year, the company sponsored him in six of his 11 Xfinity starts.
