GARY KELLER
Ohio businessman and former NASCAR team owner, Gary Keller, joined JD Motorsports in 2012 as part owner with Johnny Davis. Keller previously owned an ARCA, NASCAR Camping World Truck, and Xfinity Series teams in the early 2000’s, and now concentrates on marketing and sponsorship for JDM from his home in Ohio. His racing background includes owning an ARCA team in 2001, then a Truck team with Tim Sauter driving in 2003 before he moved to the Xfinity Series in 2004 and made some Cup attempts with Mike Wallace that same year. That connection is what led Keller to Davis, and the formation of JD Motorsports with Gary Keller. Keller’s business, Disaster Services, specializes in water damage and mold remediation for businesses and residential customers after hurricanes.
