  • Keselowski Quote: “I thought we were going to end up with a 7th or 8th place maybe but with those last second yellows and rain cycles and all that kind of cycled us back to 14th or 15th there. So that was unfortunate, but we really worked hard on this car throughout the race and weren’t where we wanted to be at the start and got to the point when we were reasonable there in the middle and that was good.”
