QUOTE WORTHY
Keselowski on racing at Kansas:
“Kansas is a really fast race track and it carries so much speed with how spread out the racing can be there. We’re thrilled to be running the King’s Hawaiian car for the first time, a brand we’re excited to partner with moving forward and one that will make for some fun content. Our goal is to get back on track and keep finding speed as we head into the weekend.”

Last Time Out

Keselowski blew a tire last Sunday at Darlington and was knocked out of the race early, finishing 34th.

 

On the Car

King’s Hawaiian will make its debut with RFK this weekend as the primary partner with the No. 6 team, the first of two races for the iconic bread brand.

The new products – the perfect balance of sweet and salty, and irresistibly soft and fluffy – join the existing product portfolio featuring rolls, sliced bread, hamburger buns, hot dog buns, mini-subs and sliders.
