Brad Keselowski on his approach to racing at Talladega Superspeedway
"You really have to pay attention to how the race unfolds at Talladega. There are times when you need to be patient. There are times when you need to keep your head about you and race smart. But you are going to have to be aggressive at the end. Those are three elements of restrictor-plate racing that I work on throughout the race. I learned that from Dale (Earnhardt) Jr. He gets a lot of the credit for the kind of racer that I am on the plate tracks."
Brad Keselowski on the stories of his uncle, Ron Keselowski, racing at Talladega Superspeedway
"I've always heard the stories of my uncle Ron racing at Talladega. He raced in the first race at Talladega, which is pretty cool in my book. A lot of the stories from him, though, are about the second and third years of racing at the track. They would start 70 cars and have a 30-car pileup on the backstretch. That's insane! You didn't have spotters back then so he came off of Turn 2 and the entire track was blocked. I can't imagine how amazing it was to race in that era and I would have really enjoyed racing my uncle."
Crew chief Jay Guy on preparing for Talladega Superspeedway
"It felt good to get our first top-10 finish of the season last weekend at Martinsville, but we probably should already have one from some of the restrictor-plate races. We've run really strong in those races but, unfortunately, we have been caught up in the big wrecks at the end of the race. So that gives us a ton of confidence going into this weekend. I like the package we have put together for this race. The engine shop has worked tirelessly to make sure we go back to Talladega with more horsepower. The aero department has done a great job massaging the bodies. If we can dodge the 'big one' this weekend we should be there at the end to compete for the win."
