KESELOWSKI (on what it takes to get around Kentucky…) - "I haven't run any Nationwide races at Kentucky, but I've been there before with the Truck Series. You've got to be fast to run well there. You've also got to have a car that handles well and just a mistake-free race. That's really what it takes to be successful at this level in racing. That's what we had in Nashville and we came away with a win. I think we've got a good shot at doing the same at Kentucky this weekend."

KESELOWSKI (on running the non-companion races…) - "I see every week as an opportunity for this Navy team to win. We've got great cars and a great crew working on them. I think there's only one or two Cup guys who aren't running this stretch of races, so I don't see it being a whole lot different than any other race we've had this year. The only big difference is track time. When they fly in to these races we're on a more level playing ground with track time because they don't get a couple extra hours on Friday and then another hour or two right before our race on Saturday in their Cup cars. The more equal amount of playing time does help even things out for the guys who just run in the Nationwide Series."
