BRIAN LEPPO & STEVE SUCHY JOIN KEEN MOTORSPORTS, LLC
Jesse and Lorraine Keen, owners of Keen Motorsports, LLC have teamed up with New Oxford’s Brian Leppo to pilot their No. 17 sprint car for the 2012 racing season.
Joining Leppo on the Keen team for 2012 will be new crew chief Steve Suchy, who brings a long list of experience to the team having worked with several top sprint car teams and drivers during his career.
Leppo has piloted a car owned by Floyd Swope for the past five seasons in Central PA but will become the full-time driver for the potent Keen sprint that has seen several different pilots in the seat over the past few seasons.
“I’m thrilled to assemble the ultimate team that I’ve envisioned for a couple of years now,” Jesse Keen stated. “I’ve never really had the right driver/crew chief combination and now I feel I have the right driver with the right crew chief and I’m really looking forward to the new season. I think Brian has continued to develop and has proven himself. He’s a gentleman-he represents sponsors and owners very well and he’s a great time trialer and a great racer. I’d like to think that I’m giving him the next level in depth of equipment and with the ultimate experience of Steve Suchy, I believe that the team I have assembled with be great.”
Leppo is equally looking forward to the next chapter of his racing
career.
“I’m really looking forward to one of the best opportunities I’ve been faced
with in racing,” Leppo said. “Jesse is a top shelf car owner and Steve is a
top shelf crew chief. We are all really excited for next year and the chance
to work together under the Keen Motorsports banner. It took some time to get
everything worked out, but we are all on board for the long haul and are
looking forward to a great first season together.”
Keen Motorsports would like to welcome all of Brian's family, friends & fans to the Keen Team and thank all the great Keen fans that have supported us over the past three years. We look forward to a great season together.
Peterbilt and Hunter Truck Sales will once again be the major sponsor on the Keen Motorsports No. 17 in 2012. This will be the fourth season that the company has been the primary sponsor.
While a complete schedule will be released later, the team will compete weekly at Williams Grove Speedway in 2012 on Friday night and will compete in Saturday night time trial shows in Central PA along with both Speedweek series and various other special shows.
“We’re gonna take a look at running for the Williams Grove championship next year but we are not committing to any track for a regular Saturday night stop at this point,” Keen added.
