Brad Keselowski on racing at Bristol Motor Speedway:
"After having two straight weeks off in the Nationwide Series, we jump right back in with both feet this weekend. These
cars put on a heck of a show at Bristol and the races there are some of my favorites of the year. I thought the changes
that were made to the track a couple of years ago were awesome, but they've taken a little bit of that extra room away
with the new outside wall. I'm anxious to see how that will affect the racing. One thing we know is that it will still
be full of action and that's what makes this place great. My Bristol win in 2008 is easily one of the highlights of my career."
Crew chief Paul Wolfe on racing at Bristol Motor Speedway:
"As a crew chief you look forward to going to Bristol because you don't have to worry about aerodynamics or 'dirty air.'
It's all about finding mechanic grip and forward bite. If you can do that your driver can be successful. The Nationwide
cars carry tremendous speed through the corners and if the driver can carry that speed down the straightaway he can pass
a lot of cars. Brad loves Bristol and his record reflects that. I'm confident we can go up there and contend for the win."
Brad's Nationwide Career Record:
Starts: 107
Poles: 4
Wins: 6
Top 5: 35
Top 10: 55
Winnings: $5,305,837
