BRAD KESELOWSKI – No. 22 SKF Ford Mustang – VICTORY LANE INTERVIEW – "It's a little surreal talking to Ryan Blaney in victory lane. Crazy. Blowing my mind. We were leading or second or whatever it was. Elliott (Sadler) gave me a good push to clear the 00 but it carried all the way into Turn 1. I got down there and my rear tires were off the ground and went straight trying not to back it into the wall. Kind of a never give up."

DARRELL WALLACE JR. – No. 43 Smithfield Ford Fusion – “That one will take a smile off your face. That’s just the competitive nature. I definitely wanted to make the third round, and I think we had enough speed in it, and it’s just me of knowing that you pick up speed every run. I knew that going into it. We talked about it right after we climbed out from the first run, but you get so fixated on those XFINITY cars and those things are all about momentum, so I was just kind of waiting for that thing to turn and get down to the bottom and get it all pointed, and I didn’t muscle it up. I just kind of got lazy with it. "

KYLE LARSON, NO. 42 TARGET CHEVROLET SS – Qualified 7th - ON HIS QUALIFYING EFFORT: “The first round was really good for us. Our Target Chevy drove really nice. I didn’t even feel like I was driving hard. So, the second round I tried to get a little more and I just got loose into (Turn) 1 and screwed up my whole lap. And then, the third round there I backed my entry up into (Turn) 1 and still got loose in but was able to get to the bottom and then I just got really tight off of (Turn) 1 and it killed my lap. Turns 2 and 3 are pretty good, but I just killed it there in Turn 1.”
