NASCAR Cup Series

"Charlotte is definitely a very hectic race for everyone in the garage. We always talk about how great it is to be racing at home, but, to be honest, Charlotte is typically a very busy weekend for us. A lot of our partners and sponsors come to town. We usually do a lot of fan appreciation activities around Charlotte and at our race shop.

“It’s always nice to race at Charlotte. It is good to race in our backyard and I’ve had some luck at Charlotte. We had a good run there earlier this year racing our way into the All-Star race. Hopefully, we can get another good finish this weekend at Charlotte.”

"Charlotte's been a good track for me in the XFINITY Series and the Camping World Truck Series. Unfortunately, the Cup Series is its own monster. There's a lot of competition out there, and you're dealing with a lot smaller margins on getting your car dialed in to have a car that's capable of staying on the lead lap and competing for Top-Five and Top-10 finishes.

The Round of 12 begins this weekend at Charlotte Motor Speedway with Team Penske drivers Brad Keselowski and Joey Logano still in contention for the championship. Both drivers have won the Bank of America 500 with Keselowski taking the checkered flag in 2013 and Logano last season.

Perspective. It means everything. Take Trevor Bayne, for instance. Last Sunday at Dover, he picked up a speeding penalty while on pit road during an early caution. No big deal. Sure, he finished 20th on the day, but with not a single Roush driver making the Chase, expectations were not exactly soaring.

Truex dominated the 47th Annual Citizen Soldier 400, leading 187 laps, on his way to his second career win at the Dover International Speedway on Sunday.

Austin Dillon and the AAA Team Advance to the Next Round of the Chase with an Eighth-Place Finish at Dover International Speedway. "This AAA team is awesome. We have been working hard as a team, and I have been working hard as a driver to make myself better. This series is very tough, and I think the biggest thing was not giving up."

Within the world of NASCAR, there are victories that nearly every driver craves. The Daytona 500, Brickyard 400 and Southern 500 are among the most iconic events in the history of the sport, and ones that all drivers desire to win.

Strong finishes at the end of the Citizen Solider 400 NASCAR Sprint Cup Series race at Dover International Speedway, led five Team Chevy drivers to advance to the Round of 12, the second bracket of the Chase for the championship 10-race playoff.

BRAD KESELOWSKI – No. 2 Miller Lite Ford Fusion – PLEASED WITH YOUR RUN? “Yeah, we had a decent day. We wanted to be just a little bit faster, but we’re just kind of gnawing away with these top-fives here these first three races, which is good. Of course, we want to get the wins, but top-fives will carry you a long ways. I’m happy with that with the Miller Lite Ford.”
