It’s a great way to honor our sport’s deep history from grassroots to the Cup Series,” said Winston Kelley. “It is truly an honor to be asked to join the Pit Row TV team. I’m excited to see so many long time friends, make new ones, share stories and memories, and most of all enjoy a great night of short track racing, the true backbone of our sport.”
