RPW’s “Hot Mic” With Mike & Mandy Keeler: A Special Announcement

Column By: RYAN HILL / RPW – DANBURY, CT – RPW’s “Hot Mic” is where the drivers of Blue Cord Media share their thoughts on a specific topic or racing event directly to the fans, and today Mike and Mandy Keeler are excited to share their thoughts on their announcement of the impending arrival of their first child.

Baby Keeler arrives in February 2018, but with parents like Mike and Mandy racing will be in the baby’s future. Mike has been racing since he was 7 years old, and Mandy has been involved in her Brother Todd Szegedy’s racing since she was 2 years old. Mike’s son Racin’ Mason and daughter Avery are currently busy racing BMX in Bethel, CT.

Here are the Keeler’s thoughts on the addition to their racing family:

MIKE: “I am very lucky and excited to have a baby with my best friend, #1 fan , and my main support system. Mason and Avery are already helping out in the race shop and racing BMX bikes, the new baby won’t be far behind them. As time goes on I am sure that all three of them will get their shot behind the wheel if they choose to. When I was a kid my parents had behind the wheel of a Quarter Midget and riding BMX bikes at age seven. Mandy was at the track at a young age with her family supporting her Brother Todd running Karts, and then modifieds. You never know where racing will take you, all I know is we will continue to do it as a family.”

MANDY: “The baby will be a race baby for sure. I was a race baby, and have always raced as a family, and we will continue to do so. I am looking forward to raising these kids around the track and the shop. Whether our baby is a boy or girl there is plenty of fun things to do. I believe racing keeps kids busy, and out of trouble, especially racing as a family. I am looking forward to next season in the pits and behind the grandstands at Lebanon Valley selling t-shirts with our little one supporting Dad.”

Mandy will be debuting the first video of her upcoming series “Racing Wife, Racing Life” where you can follow along with the Keeler’s as they follow their racing dreams. Through these videos everyone will get to meet her, the kids, and how everyone on the team is family, because for the Keeler’s racing is not just a Saturday night thing, it is their lifestyle.
