Brad Keselowski on racing at Nashville:
"I feel extremely good about going to Nashville. This No. 22 Discount Tire Dodge team has been
running great. We are really starting to gel and I think we are only going to continue to get
stronger. Victory Lane is just right around the corner and Nashville would be a great place to
do it. It's one of my favorite tracks and I've been fortunate to run well there. I have one guitar,
but I need to make it a pair. It is easily one of the coolest trophies in all of sports."
Crew chief Paul Wolfe on racing at Nashville:
"Nashville is pretty unique in that it is almost a 1.5-mile track, but it's concrete. Most of
our concrete tracks aren't speedways so that provides a few challenges. Everybody will fight
for the bottom of the track at the start of the race, but the groove will widen as the cars
run. Most importantly, you need to have a car that is balanced for long and short green-flag
runs. There is usually a caution with a few laps remaining that will setup a shootout so you
have to be prepared for that. Brad has been very good at Nashville in his career and we need
to give him a car that he can use to pick up his second guitar."
Brad's Nationwide Career Record:
Starts: 108
Poles: 6
Wins: 5
Top 5: 36
Top 10: 56
Winnings: $5,350,355

• Guitar Hero: In 2008, Keselowski picked up his first career NASCAR Nationwide Series victory at Nashville Superspeedway
and the Sam Bass signature Gibson guitar that goes to the winner. He has his eye on grabbing a second this
weekend, which would make him the third multiple winner at the track.
• The Rest is History: Penske Racing has three Nationwide Series starts at the Nashville Superspeedway. The first came in 2007
with driver Sam Hornish, Jr. The organization also made three NASCAR Cup Series starts at the old Nashville
Speedway on the site of the Tennessee State Fairgrounds. Bobby Allison won one of his 58 career pole awards
there behind the wheel of the No. 2 Penske Racing entry in 1976.
