Post-Qualifying Quotes

BRAD KESELOWSKI (No. 22 Ruby Tuesday Dodge Charger) Qualified Fourth “My run with the Ruby Tuesday Dodge was pretty good. I had to lift because the track is a little slicker than it was here in the Spring. I’m pretty happy with our car. We’ll have a solid starting spot and a decent spot on pit lane. We should be fine.”
WITH SUCH A LARGE POINT LEAD, WILL YOUR MINDSET CHANGE FOR THE LAST EIGHT RACES? “I approach it as if we don’t even have a point lead. We’re racing each event trying to get as many points as we can, trying to win the driver and owner championships. To me, it’s like we’re 50 points behind and trying to catch the leader.”
JUSTIN ALLGAIER (No. 12 Verizon Wireless Dodge Charger) Qualified Seventh “We were a little snug from our practice qualifying to today. The temperature is a lot cooler and the track has a lot more grip in it. I thought that would actually help us, but unfortunately, with the way that I like to drive the car, I was just a little bit too snug. I think that it’s a decent qualifying effort for the Verizon Wireless Dodge guys. I’ve got a really fast race car and I’m excited for the race.”
TALK ABOUT THE DIFFICULTY OF NAVIGATING TRAFFIC ON THIS TRACK? “Qualifying poorly is one of the things that has caught us off every time that we’ve been here. That results in being subjected to going down a lap early and never getting the rhythm that you need to get into the race. Today, it was about getting a decent qualifying run and start up front. If we can stay out of trouble and have clean pit stops, I think we’ll be OK.”
