Keziah is hoping his new combination will be a front runner in the series. Keziah knows it will be tough the to make field Thursday night in one of the most competitive classes running anywhere. It is rumored that legendary Radial tire racer Barry Mitchell will be assuming the crew chief duty’s. Keziah will be running a new Fulton Competition Race Engine with Nitrous. Keziah looks at the success the other Fulton Race Engine teams at Big Dog, (Brian Shrader and Travis Harvey) as a major accomplishment for the Fulton Race Engine brand and is confident his power plant will be just as good or better once some data is acquired.

This is a great step for everyone involved with the Big Dog Series at Piedmont Dragway, to have a racer the caliber of Robby Keziah build a car to run in the series. Big Dog was a huge draw back in the day. A rules restructure in late 2016 completely change the Big Dog Cars. However after a few years under the current format more and more teams are showing up to give the fans one of the GREATEST weeknight events anywhere in the WORLD. The new rules package is time and cost effective for the teams. Where else can you go and have qualifying start at 5:30 pm and have the race completed by 10, that’s 2 sessions of qualifying and 3 rounds of racing for the incredibly quick 8 car field.

On behalf of team #NCProModer and all of the fine folks at Piedmont Dragway welcome Robby Keziah back to Big Dog. Good luck and stay safe.
