SAM HORNISH JR (No. 12 WÜRTH Dodge Challenger R/T) Finished 10th CAN YOU TAKE US THROUGH YOUR RACE? “Yeah, it was a strange race. We were able to miss a lot of the carnage and that helped us a lot. I’m not sure how good our car was, but we got a lot of breaks that helped us get track position back. The guys worked their butts off all weekend. We changed a transmission and an engine. We started from the back and were able to claw our Würth Dodge Challenger back up to the front. At the end of the day, we’re looking for wins and we fell short today. We’ll take a 10th-place finish but we always want more.”
CAN YOU TALK ABOUT THE LAST RESTART? DID YOU JUST LOSE YOUR DRAFTING PARTNER (JUSTIN ALLGAIER)? “Yeah. Our car wasn’t good enough to push like we needed to and every time that we got into traffic we just got pulled off the car ahead of us.”
HOW WERE YOU ABLE TO ESCAPE THIS RACE WITHOUT A SCRATCH ON THE CAR? “It’s just luck. You can never predict where or when all heck is going to break loose. We were just fortunate to stay clean all night, get some track position back and contend at the end of race. We just fell a little short.”
BRAD KESELOWSKI (No. 22 Discount Tire Dodge Challenger R/T) Finished 35th “Somebody switched lanes in front of me. It looked like they were overheating or something. Switched lanes in front of the field and checked everybody up. We’re just going too fast when somebody switches lanes or breaks apart a two-car tandem they’re going 10 miles an hour slower and just can’t keep up with it. Somebody ran into one of ‘em and I thought I had it cleared and somebody came up from the bottom and clipped me in the left-rear and got the Discount Tire Dodge involved. That’s racing, just the way it’s gonna go.”
