An Interview with:

Q. Third-place finish, but unfortunately not enough. You'll end up minus eight on the day. Disappointing day I know. What was the difference at the end?

BRAD KESELOWSKI: At the start of the race we were okay. Got really tight in the middle of the race. Car started rolling at the end. Just super free. I was so loose. Got underneath the 9, got loose. Spun him out. All I could do to hold onto the car.

We got it better, put ourselves in a position. Just wasn't quite strong enough there at the end. Disappointing. All in all we gave it a great run here. Wish I could have last week at Kansas back, that's for sure. Felt like I left the eight points we were short there with some mistakes I made.

All in all, proud of our team. Proud of the efforts that everyone put in. Disappointed for Team Penske to not get through to the final round. We gave it our best. Feel bad for Chase, that he got caught up there. At least he's still good for next week. Frustrating day.

Q. You'll go to Phoenix next week. Your final race with Team Penske. How important will that be to you?

BRAD KESELOWSKI: Yeah, it would be huge. We're going to shoot real hard for that. Hopefully we can pull it off. But super proud of everything we've done together.
