In addition to primary sponsorship from Reese Towpower, Advanced Auto Parts will be displayed on the quarter panels of the No. 19 machine.
Crew chief, Chad Kendrick, will be calling the shots for Keselowski. The No. 19 BKR team sits 12th in the NCWTS owners point standings, 75 points back from first.

"I can't wait to get to Kentucky next weekend. We've been very competitive there in the first two Cup races and the Truck race last year. It's a track that really suits me because it is so rough and I tend to do well on those. I'm excited to get back into the Reese Towpower Ford and Kentucky is a great track for us to breakthrough with a win this season." - Brad Keselowski

"I've been looking forward to this race at Kentucky. Similar to the rest of the SMI 1.5 mile tracks on the Truck circuit, this place is fast and it's fun to race at. Our guys have been working really hard on our Kentucky package and I'm excited to get there and test it out." - Ryan Blaney
