have two of the champions of NASCAR's premier divisions, Randy LaJoie and Ron 
Hornaday, Jr. and golf professionals Jay Haas and Chris Patton participate 
was special for all who attended," said Keller.

"I received a lot of positive comments about how much fun everyone had at 
this year's tournament and we are already thinking about how to make next 
year's even better."

LaJoie, Ron Hornaday, Jr., Elliott Sadler, Elton Sawyer, Kevin Lepage, Ronnie 
Silver, David Bonnett, Shawn Hendricks, Mike Dillon, Randy Porter, Shane
