KESELOWSKI QUOTES: “We had a strong car for sure, great on the long runs, a solid piece. I’m just real proud of everyone back at the shop at JR Motorsports. The U.S. NAVY Chevrolet was the car to beat there on long runs; probably not as good as it needed to be on short runs. This is what we need to do. We need to keep cranking out those top-fives to close in on Clint for the points. I had a great car tonight. They did a good job for me with the U.S. NAVY Chevrolet. We had a car close to Kyle’s but he’s pretty good, obviously, and there’s a reason why he’s winning all those races. Hat’s off to him but decent run, decent finish, what we need to do to catch up to Clint for the title and just keep plugging away with these top-fives.” DID YOU NEED A CAUTION NEAR TO THE END OF THE RACE? “No [smiles]. I didn’t need anything but about 50 laps less race. It was a great car and just proud of everyone back at the shop for it.” YOU’RE NOT FEELING 100 PERCENT. WHAT WAS THAT LIKE IN THE CAR? “Miserable. I’m glad it was a night race but the car was not doing me any favors. It was pretty loose and that makes it to where you work even harder. What are you going to do? It was fast because it was loose. That’s what you need to run up front.” THIS WAS ANOTHER NIGHT OF GIBBS WINNING. DOES THAT GET FRUSTRATING WEEK AFTER WEEK? “Yeah, certainly. My team is a good team, too. They’ve got what it takes to win. We’ve got what it takes to win. Chevrolet has got what it takes to win sitting on the shelf because we can’t run it so that’s very frustrating.”

Keselowski scored a third-place finish in tonight’s race, his seventh top-five and 12th top-10 this season.
