Racing career
editIn 2004, Kelley would make his ARCA Re/Max Series debut at South Boston Speedway, driving the No. 71 Chevrolet for his own team, where he would start nineteenth but finish 23rd due to electrical issues. After not making another start in the series for the next three years, he would drive the No. 23 Chevrolet for Hixson Motorsports at Salem Speedway, where he would finish 29th due to a crash. He would then run with the team for the remainder of the year, getting nine top-twenty finishes with a best result of fourteenth at Talladega Superspeedway on his way to finish eighteenth in the points despite not racing at the season opening race at Daytona International Speedway. For the following year, he would form his own team, PGM Racing, and sign fellow Humble, Texas native Stephan McCurley to drive the No. 03 Chevrolet for the full schedule, although they would run select races following that years event at Mansfield Motorsports Park.[1] Kelley would enter in the race at Daytona for 2010, but would withdraw from the event. He has not made another attempt in the series since then, as the season ending race of 2008 at Toledo Speedway would be his most recent start as a driver.[2]
