…The Mark Donohue Award is “about personal spirit and performance
behind the wheel. That’s more important for this award than is winning the
race. This year Chris Keller excelled at both.”
“When Chris Keller won our talent search of race drivers in the fall of 2006,
we felt he had that something special. That year we had 525 young
champions vying for a spot on just one of our race teams, and to be in our
Driver Career Development Program. Chris earned the spot with his
superior on-track performance... But also with his personality, character,
communication skills and coach ability…we are crystal clear that he is the
real deal…His speed, strategy and assertive driving style make him a
winner. Outside the cockpit, Chris has exhibited an impressive work ethic
and dedication to his race craft. In our experience, and this is what we do
for a living, we feel Chris’s racing skills make him extremely
marketable…From our objective point of view, with 32 years of pro racing
experience, we are confident Chris has the talent, motivation, character
and charisma that will make him a star.”
