Keith Rocco – “Kid Rock” Ready to Start a Revolution(s)
Keith Rocco and team have relentlessly pushed towards winning their 2nd Whelen All-American Series championship since the season’s start. With the addition of Revolutions Bowling and Lounge to their sponsorship line-up the group’s motivation shifts a level higher.
New Britain, Connecticut — “We’re pleased to have Revolutions Bowling and Lounge on board the eighty-eight at Stafford (Motor Speedway).” explained Rocco. “Every team needs solid marketing partners and supporters. When they join your group, straight away they add to what you can do while bringing credibility to who you are.
“I’m glad for John & Maina Rufrano,” he continued. “As owners they have always gone above and beyond to make sure we can win races. This is good for everyone.”
Revolutions Bowling and Lounge is quickly becoming Connecticut’s premier bowling center. Located on Bidwell Road in South Windsor the facility is twenty-miles from the Stafford Motor Speedway.
Doug Nation, owner of Revolutions Bowling and Lounge explained, “We are excited to be a part of Keith Rocco’s legacy at the Stafford Speedway. We are thrilled by his continuing success and cannot wait to see what the future brings for the Revolutions Bowling #88 car.”
As part of NOMAD’s Entertainment Group which includes Nomad’s Adventure Quest, Red’s Tavern and Willow Brook Golf Course, the businesses can entertain all-ages.
Rocco continued, “When we won the Whelen All-American Series title in 2010 our entire group experienced how NASCAR takes care of its sponsors, teams and drivers. We want the opportunity to bring all our sponsors to Charlotte (North Carolina) for the Whelen All-American banquet. It’s something every business should live through.”
Presently Asphalt Modified driver Keith Rocco sits 3rd in Whelen All-American Series points after finishing 5th at Stafford (Conn.) Motor Speedway last Friday (7/25), and 4th at Waterford (Conn.) Speedbowl on Saturday (7/26). Thompson Speedway’s Thursday (7/24) program was rained-out.
Rocco is behind title-holders Lee Pulliam and Dean McCaskill with 10 wins, 21 top fives and 27 top 10s in 32 races.
Since 2006 Keith Rocco has never finished outside the Top Four in Whelen All-American Series points. The Wallingford, Connecticut frontrunner drove to his seventh Track Championship last season and explained his team’s determination remains unchanged.
“I feel our success shows we are still developing,” said Rocco. “It may be that we have failed to show improvements in our SK Modified program lately, but I can promise we are working harder than ever.”
