House to oversee race operations at KCR

Eddyville, Ky. – Keith Coleman Racing (KCR) has named Tommy House as Team Manager / Director of Race Operations, the team announced today.

House has been with KCR as a consultant for the past several months. He retired from NASCAR earlier this year after spending 26 years as a Busch Series official during two separate stints with the organization.
“ It is a big job, but I’m looking forward to it,” House said. “With three teams running on the NASCAR Busch Series and a Nextel Cup team, I know it is going to be a challenge.”

His duties will include overseeing all aspects of the race shop for all of the teams and being the final authority at the track.

“I’m going to do whatever I can to help each team,” House explained. “Officially my job is work with the crew chiefs and make sure they have what they need to be successful but I’m not above picking up a wrench and jumping in if I need to either.”

“Tommy is a perfect fit for this position,” said Keith Coleman, team owner. “He’s been in the field for a long time and he knows what it takes to win. There is nothing he doesn’t know about a race car and his experience will be a vital part of our organization’s success next year.
