"The Man from Mifflintown!"

Career stats: Keith Kauffman is 61years old, and has been racing for 41 of those years. In the four decades of his racing career, he has earned 307 wins and eighteen track championships. Of those 307 wins, 128 were logged at Port Royal Speedway, 51 at Williamsgrove Speedway, 25 were with the All-Star racers, five were at Lincoln Speedway, and many more! Kauffman has won in 12 different states and twice in Australia! According to his website (http://www.keithkauffman.com/), he has won too many awards to even mention-- a great driver obviously. Kauffman has raced Late Models, Champ Cars, Go-Karts and is now in the 410 Sprint division. Keith doesn't have a favorite track. He says he loves all of them. He is so well known, that even Jeff Gordon (professional driver from NASCAR) says Keith is HIS hero!

Personal Profile(from his website): "The Man from Mifflintown" was born on June 9th, 1950, in Mifflintown, PA. He and his wife Kathy have two children, Becky and Chase. Aside from racing, he has a full time job! Who would have thought he has the time?! He's a full-time equipment operator for the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation. Keith has been doing this job for nine years. In Kauffman's free time, he enjoys hunting, yard work, and deep sea fishing with Barry Camp, who is also a driver for the USAC division. Kauffman loves steak and lobster, and his favorite drink is coffee. When Keith is cruising down the road in his car, going the speed limit, of course, he's more than likely listening to oldies music, and when he's sitting at home, hanging out with his family, he's probably watching something with John Wayne, James Bond, or Clint Eastwood.
