Clicking the link, I found this visualization of the approximate orbit:

This orbit is around the sun (as asteroids tend to) and the apoapsis is closer to Jupiter's orbit than Mars.

Also, the gravity of asteroids or small planetary bodies like moons that it passes close to will have some small effects that can add up over a long time period.
