#21

Chris McKeehan drives the #21 Sportsman/Late Model Class car.  His home track is Lanier Speedway and Peach State Motor Speedway but he can also be found racing at Senoia Speedway, Quaker City Speedway, Toledo Speedway and Lake Erie Speedway.  He lives in Winder, GA.

Team members helping Chris are:  Mom, Dad, Aunt Cathy, Uncle Carl, Michael, Rick, Paul and Robert.  Tim McKeehan - Dad, is the car owner.

Chris started racing in 1988 in the Jr. Stock Racing Go Karts at Sum Toy Speedway because when Chris was 7 years old his Dad wanted Chris to get started the way he did.  His first win was in 1996 in the Limited Late Model Class at Carnsville Speedway.  Career highlights include winning his first Stock Car race at Lanier speedway in the Sportsman Division, his two year racing cars and Rookie of the Year.  He's raced in 3 ARCA REMAX Series races for Mark Gibson Racing and won multiple Go Kart races.

The thrill of racing for Chris is being able to work on his own cars and beat the guys who have big money.  His most exciting racing moment was two years ago when he went out of the race track at Peach State Motor Speedway after getting into a wreck.  He's most proud of being able to earn Rookie of the Year in his first year of car racing and being able to share that with his Mom and Dad.

Chris's racing hero is his Dad, Tim McKeehan.

Of racing, Chris says, "It's harder than it looks from the stands!  Leter rip tater chip!".
