Brad Keselowski

Pit Lane Interview

Q. Brad, we were watching before the final caution and thought you were going to have a different race on your hands where you were just going to try to save those tires and get the job done. Caution comes out and you almost win it another way. We saw how bad you wanted it at the end. Does this one sting?

BRAD KESELOWSKI: Just the story of our season, just a 50/50 shot on the restart and I got the lane that couldn't launch. Just frustrating. We had a great car, great strategy, put ourselves in position to, if not win, at least have a really, really solid day, and on that last restart and just rolled the dice and didn't get anything good.

Q. Brad, we saw this happen a year ago in the spring and you finished third in that race. Tonight you come home second. What makes you so good at Bristol specifically when we get into that tire saving kind of racing?

BRAD KESELOWSKI: Just fun. I just enjoy the challenge. You've got to run a smart race and got to have really good cars, and thought we did both today.
