"I'm very excited about this opportunity that Raymond has given me with the Keyed-Up Motorsports No. 90 team." said Richert. "I want to continue building this team with high caliber crew members that have the same vision for the team that Raymond does. And although a challenging endeavor, I believe that the Keyed-Up No. 90 car can be competitive on the track."
