Brad Keselowski BK on qualifying 27th in Sunday's Cup race. ""Wow, that was a super loose lap. We were a just a little bit free at the end of practice so Roy [McCauley] made a couple of adjustments to the Penske Dodge before we went out to qualify. Going out early in the session did not help us either. Once the sun started to set, the... track picked up a lot of grip. We have a really good car and I am excited about Sunday's race."

Brad Keselowski Looking forward to Homestead. BK told Penske “I am really looking forward to this weekend. We are bringing a brand new car, which will be pretty cool. Homestead-Miami Speedway is an awesome track. You can run side-by-side because of the progressive banking, which is fun for both the drivers as well as the fans"

Brad Keselowski “We had a good car today,” said Brad after the race. “We were collected in the big wreck coming out of turn 4. I had no place to go. The track was blocked. I am really proud of this team. We brought a really fast race car here this weekend and I felt like we could have finished inside the top-15.”

Brad Keselowski on driving at Phoenix International Raceway:
" I have run Phoenix in the Nationwide Series car and have had a couple of good runs there. This will be my first time in a Cup Series car at Phoenix. I feel like the Penske cars have been extremely strong on the short tracks. Phoenix, to me, is a short track even though it is one mile in length. It drives like a short track.
Kurt has historically run really well there, and hopefully we can build on the success Penske has had. The No. 12 team did a great job in our first weekend together. We did not get the finish we deserved last weekend in Texas, but I feel like we really have a solid foundation."
Crew chief Roy McCauley on racing at Phoenix International Raceway:
" Phoenix is a tough track. As a crew chief, you have to set up the car for two separate corners. If you can get your car to really run well through turns 3 and 4, you will have a solid car. We know going in we have a good car and a great driver. We just need a bit of luck to get the finish we deserve.
"Brad did a great job last weekend. We had a strong car and he did a good job adjusting to how we do things at Penske Racing. Unfortunately, we did not get the finish we wanted, but I am really excited to have Brad on board driving the No. 12 Penske Dodge."
Time:2:30PM Sunday, November 15th
Location:Phoenix International Raceway

Brad Keselowski BK quote via Dodge: ""I thought that we did a good job on our Penske Dodge. We had some bad circumstances today, getting caught up in a wreck that took our right-front out. After we got the car fixed, we moved up positions all race. I think that we had a top-15 car, but just got caught up in the wrong spot at the wrong... time. That's racing. I'm proud of my guys"

I'm going to do everything I can to get this program running an...d off the ground from Day 1"
