QUOTE WORTHY
Keselowski on racing at Nashville:
“Despite this being only our second Cup event in Nashville, it’s a place I’m really familiar with in the Xfinity and Truck days. Matt and the guys ran pretty well there last year, so we feel good about the notes we have going into the weekend, combined with our Dover notes with the tracks being similar in shape and size. Glad to have our friends at King’s Hawaiian back on board, and look forward to a good weekend.”

Last Time Out

Keselowski battled all day and picked up a 10th-place finish at Sonoma, his second top-10 on the season and third overall at Sonoma.
