Brad Keselowski – No. 2 Alliance Truck Parts Ford Fusion – “It’s by far the best qualifying effort I’ve ever had here. That’s a testament to the team and the work they’ve done and trying to be better.
“Our Home Depot Husky Tools Camry was really good. The last run we kind of missed a little bit there. The first round was good, the second round was actually better and the tires drop off so much here, the third round just didn’t quite get it as good. Overall it was good. It was way better than we’ve been all day, so our adjustments were good and it seemed to have good speeds and was driving decent, so that was all encouraging.”
“Our car didn’t really change that much. I just messed the first round up really bad trying to do something that I wasn’t doing in practice. Luckily we were fast enough to be able to get through the first round into the second round. The second round we got into a little better rhythm where I wanted to run on the race track. I’ve got to thank everybody on our Jimmy John’s team they make my life a lot easier on Friday’s and this is a lot of fun.”
