America’s Incredible Pizza Company made their first appearance on the No. 11 CJM Racing entry at Las Vegas Motor Speedway. Since the initial meeting, the two parties have had lengthy discussions on how to make a successful partnership and they have come to a mutual business to business agreement. The long-term goal is to build the program from a successful NASCAR Nationwide team to a winner in the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series.
America’s Incredible Pizza Company will serve as the primary sponsor of the No. 11 entry in 2008. CJM Racing will only be seeking sponsorship in 2008 that can help strengthen this program. The 2008 season will enable the new partnership to build on the already solid foundation.

CJM Racing was established by young entrepreneurs Tony and Bryan Mullet in May of 2006. The team ran a limited NASCAR Sprint Cup program before re-organizing in May of 2007 as a NASCAR Nationwide Series team. Veteran driver Jason Keller wheeled the No. 11 entry to four top-10 finishes in just 15 starts in 2007. This season Keller has once again been named the driver of the No. 11 America’s Incredible Pizza Company Chevrolet and the team looks forward to garnering their first win in 2008.

"When my father and I would watch Nascar on TV as a young Child…I dreamed of becoming involved with racing in one form or another. How fun it is to now become involved in a sport that brought him and I together every weekend. Even though he was such a Earnhardt fan…I had my own favorites…and now my favorite is Jason Keller…Incredible Pizza is proud to be a part of this team that shares the same Christian values and wants to make the family as the most important part of the fabric of America…and America’s Incredible Pizza Company…go #11!"
--Rick Barsness,
CEO of America's Incredible Pizza Company
