Brad Keselowski (No. 2 Miller Lite Dodge Charger R/T) Finished 4th “It was a solid run. Right now where we’re at wins are what matters (smiles). I thought we had a shot at it. That last restart just didn’t get it done but that’s part of the deal. Good action all day just came up a little bit short.”

EARLIER TODAY, YOU SAID YOU’VE HAD A LIFETIME’S WORTH OF BAD LUCK IN ONE DAY. MAYBE TODAY IS WHEN YOU LUCK HAS CHANGED “Well, it’s never over until it’s over. I’ve won races like this here before.
