Pit Lane Interview

Q. Brad, at the end just couldn't get quite there. What held you back?

BRAD KESELOWSKI: Just the way the yellows fell. We had so many yellows there in Stage 3 that it got the 24 and the 19 to where they could make it on fuel pitting way outside the window, and we just couldn't get back by them.

Got back by a lot of guys; restarted I think 24th there after we pitted, and got all the way up to third, but that was as far as I could get.

Q. Seems like we continue to see the progress of the 6, and the 60 is up here as well this weekend?

BRAD KESELOWSKI: Yeah, great run for both of our RFK cars. Obviously we want to win, but we're in contention, that's for sure.

Q. What else do you see that you need going into next week at a road course?

BRAD KESELOWSKI: Watkins Glen has been good for us. It's been a good track for me. My teammate won there last year. Just keep putting solid runs on the board and I feel like this will come to us and we've got some pretty strong Ford Mustangs right now.

Q. How much more time do you think you needed?

BRAD KESELOWSKI: I don't know. Blaney was really fast there at the end. He had a little bit newer tires, and he was running us down. I feel like I was going to get the 19, but Blaney was going to pass me.

It was a solid day, just needed a few more things to go our way.
