MOORESVILLE, N.C. -- CJM Racing team owners, Tony and Bryan Mullet, has announced that the team has secured primary sponsorship on a full-time basis by signing on America's Incredible Pizza Company as a sponsorship partner.

"Everyone has bought into this program and has worked very hard to make it a success. The guys have done an incredible job on the track, which allowed us to accomplish our goal of providing a long-term sponsor. I am excited about the partnership we are forming with the AIPC management team," Tony Mullet said.

America's Incredible Pizza Company made its 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 with America's Incredible Pizza Company is to build the program from a successful Nationwide Series team to a winner in the Sprint Cup Series over the next six years.

America's Incredible Pizza Company will serve as the primary sponsor of the No. 11 entry, driving by Jason Keller, 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.

"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," America's Incredible Pizza Company CEO Rick Barsness said.

"Even though he was such an 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 family the most important part of the fabric of America ... and America's Incredible Pizza Company. Go No. 11."

CJM Racing was established by the Mullets in May 2006. The team ran a limited Sprint Cup program before re-organizing in May of 2007 as a Nationwide Series team. Keller wheeled the No. 11 entry to four top-10 finishes in just 15 starts in 2007.
