It seemed like old times. Tommy Houston and Jason Keller were on the same track to start an event. But this time, it was Keller who was the veteran in the spotlight.
Last Friday night at LMS, Keller eclipsed Houston’s all-time NASCAR Busch Series starts mark by taking the green flag for his 418th race. Houston, who made the trip from Hickory, N.C., with his family to be present as the new record was set, drove the pace truck for the parade laps to lead Keller to the mark.
To add to the drama, Keller had to qualify on time for the record start and went out last. His night ended early though when he was caught up in an accident on Lap 133.
“We had hoped to put on a better show,” Keller said. I’m looking forward to moving on to start number 419.”
