Last year, Keith DeJean pulled into Gulfport Dragway with a street-legal truck and zero bracket racing experience. That first visit became the beginning of something special.

Winner’s checks followed, then this year’s Summer Points Series championship. Now, he’s won the ¼-Mile Street Class and Busch Light King of the Mountain in the same night, in the same truck!

It’s good to see new people find their place in our sport. Keith’s journey reminds us that chasing a dream, practicing and never giving up can lead to great success.

Keep welcoming newcomers and encouraging them. The next champion could be arriving for their first race. Congratulations, Keith!
