It'd be really cool if KKM could put DD in a car for the Chili Bowl. I wouldn't expect a full season with Dave knowing how the bread is buttered, but making room for him at the big one.. that'd be pretty cool.

I can tell you all this The Best Race of the Year in 2018 for this guy was The BC39 and I'm not a big fan of midgets per say! Love Sprint cars Non-Wing or Wing but the BC39 was the best race I saw this year. They busted there butts to make it happen. Just think how awesome it would have been had they got to run the alphabet soup like they planned! It was just pure magic even without that! Heaven forbid we tell a guy like Keith how to run his team! Haters are always gonna hate. If they can field 10 cars then more power to them. Every great racer had to start some place and if they are lucky enough to start out with a great team like KKM well that's gotta fell pretty good!

I just listened to the PodCast, and it was a great episode. I think a lot of the people who are hating on KKM would change their tune if they knew of the history. He tells the story that in the early years of KKM that it was a struggle to make the business work. Anyone who has missed house payments because of his race team is someone that is dedicated to the sport. I would defiantly recommend everyone to listen to the Podcast. It was very entertaining.

If people would really look into what you get as a driver if you race for KKM. For one you get the best Equiptment, crew, owners, technology, media attention & not to mention being associated with some of the top companies in Motorsports. We have raced all over the country and had some of the best drivers wheel our cars and there’s no way we could supply the quality of equipment and have ALL the resources that KKM has any cheaper than the kids pay to drive for KKM. I figure it would be twice as much to field the quality of equipment each race and to be able to follow two different series across the U.S. Whether it’s Clauson, KKM, Petry or any other major team they offer something that most parents couldn’t afford otherwise.

I"ve noticed that every driver that steps in to the cars of KKM,Clauson, Petry every one of them are what I call Gassers The pedal is matted no matter the track ,conditions ,whatever they are standing on the gas, I think that also plays into weather they get the ride or not besides havimg money
