This past February, Ben Keating was recognized as the TIME Dealer of the Year nominee at the NADA Show in Las Vegas. Keating is a third-generation dealer who is continuing his family’s legacy with a passion for the industry that shows.

He is enthusiastic about the business in all aspects of his life and proudly represents the industry as an accomplished race car driver, winning the 2022 and 2023 GT-AM class in the 24 Hours of Le Mans, among other prestigious races.

Ben’s involvement in his community ranges from a $4 million endowment at Texas A&M to donating stuffed back-to-school backpacks for local children to distributing 300 turkeys the week before Thanksgiving to help families in need. Way to go, Ben! We are so proud of you.
