BRAD KESELOWSKI, No. 2 Miller Lite Ford Fusion | Finished 2nd
“The car was really strong the second half of the race. My guys made great adjustments on it and we drove up to second there. We were pretty equal to Jimmie there but never got a crack at him. I would have liked a shot. It was a decent day for us finishing second and that is something to be proud of but we want one spot more.”
JIMMIE JOHNSON, NO. 48 LOWE’S/KOBALT TOOLS CHEVROLET SS – WINNER - TAKE US THROUGH YOUR RUN TODAY:“It was an awesome race car. The first run I wasn’t sure we were really going to have the normal Dover magic here. Once the track ‘rubbered’ in our car came to life and it was so good. It’s amazing that we can stay on top of things here with the different generation car, different rules, different tires. This place just fits my style and Chad Knaus’ style.”

TREVOR BAYNE, No. 6 AdvoCare Ford Mustang - Finishing Position: 2nd “This team has made some really big gains this week. We have been eight to 10th place every week and it kind of stinks to be that close. I will never complain about a second place finish but when you can get that close you want to keep going. There were times I would catch Kyle and times he would pull away."
