The term "racing is in his blood" is thrown around loosely in the racing community, but for one driver, the phrase actually seems appropriate.
Butler's KJ Motorsports Sprint Car
Enter Keith Butler, a third-generation sprint car racer from Tampa, Florida. Since the age of 5, Butler has been competing in open-wheel racing, first in karting, then in quarter-midgets, and finally in sprints, where he has enjoyed one of the most successful careers of any regional racer in the southeast United States.
"It's been a dream," said Butler, the back-to-back, defending Checkered Flag Sprint Series Champion. "This season hasn't quite been what we were looking for. We've had some engine problems, and we've been in the wrong place at the wrong time. But we are still in the points race."
Butler was also the 2003 Tampa Bay Area Racing Association's Owners Champion. In addition to those two series, he also runs in the Top Gun series. Butler currently sits fourth in points in the CFSS with two race weekends remaining in 2010. He has tasted bitterness of defeat and the sweet taste of victory this year.
"This season has had its ups and downs. From winning, to engine problems, to crashes, it's just been a roller coaster."
Butler's KJ Motorsports team, named for himself and his wife Jennifer, found a way to take racing and put it to good use. In 2008, the founded Operation: Race For Freedom. The team collects and distributes items needed by United States Military members throughout the world.
KJ Motorsports has long used K&N products to get them in victory lane, and Butler said the reason is simple. "K&N products are high quality and consistent. They allow us to standardize our maintenance intervals. The people at K&N have also been such a pleasure to work with, and have gone above and beyond to help with giveaways for Operation: Race For Freedom."

Consistency was the key for Springer's championship run, he never finished out of the top-five all year.
"This is my first series championship, but not my first championship," clarified a celebrative Brad Springer. "I did win the track championship at M-40 Speedway back in 1997, in the modified division. But winning the USA Modified Series Championship is by far the most rewarding championship to win."
Springer says winning the USA Modified Series Championship is by far the most rewarding championship to win.
Springer officially locked up the title at O'Reilly Raceway Park in Indianapolis, at the Welch and Wilson Rock and Race Weekend. The Springer Racing number 61 K&N sponsored car was the fastest in the first practice session, and qualified third quickest out of the strong 29 car field. With one race still to go, and a 164 point lead, Springer's fifth place finish in the 30-lap feature was all he needed to win 2010 USA Modified Series Points Championship.
Brad and wife Stacey are the heart and soul of the Springer Racing team.
"I race against the best of the best in modified racing each week, and I'm a strong competitor. I have been racing with the series for many years and have finished in the top-five several times, but now taking the championship, and doing it with one race left, means I have had a great season. I'm so proud of my team, which consists mainly of my wife and parents. They are very supportive and I couldn't do this without them."
Next year for the Brad Springer Racing team is still pretty much up in the air at this point, as it's based on the amount of sponsorship help they are able to obtain, according to Springer.
"I would love to defend my title next year with the USA Modified Series, and also race more big money shows down south this winter and spring. I really enjoyed starting off the 2010 season in Georgia with a big win at Speedfest. That was a great jump-start for our season, so I'm already looking forward to next season."
For the final race of the season Springer says he's headed to Winchester Speedway in Indiana, for the Annual Run for the Gun 50. Springer is the defending winner of the event, taking home the Winchester Rifle last year, and is the current track record holder there as well, with a 16.31 second lap around the famous half-mile, high banked, asphalt oval track.
"I will be going to Winchester to take the win," said Springer. "I have raced hard all season and would love to finish off the points season with a win. As the defending winner at Winchester last year, there's some pressure on me to defend my title."
NOTE - Springer and his team finished in second place at Winchester following this interview. Springer's comments were, "This has been a great season for the team, consistent top-five finishes every week is what won the championship for us. Brad Springer Racing would like to thank K&N and all our wonderful sponsors for helping make this season possible."
Although this was the final points race of the year, Springer isn't done with his season just yet. He will be competing at the North/South Shootout in Concord, North Carolina, on November 5th and 6th, with the USA Modified Series in conjunction with the Rolling Thunder Modified Series.
