Mike Kelley will serve as the crew chief for David Ragan’s No. 6 Discount Tire Ford Fusion in the NASCAR Busch Series in 2007. Last year, Kelley worked as Todd Kluever’s crew chief for the No. 50 Ford Fusion.

Kelley has been with Roush since 2002. He previously served as car chief of the No. 97 Irwin/Sharpie Ford in the Nextel Cup Series under Jimmy Fennig, and was part of the championship team in 2004.

Before making the move to Ford, Kelley worked with Michael Waltrip’s Daytona 500-winning 2001 team and two years with Evernahm Motorsports.

Kelley was a Florida racer before Ernie Irvan made an offer for Kelley to work with Irvan’s NASCAR Busch and Craftsman Truck Series teams starting in 1996.
