· BUSCH QUOTES: “It was a pretty good race for us. We had trouble in practice trying to get the car exactly the way I wanted it. We were close but Jason [Ratcliff, crew chief] worked really hard with the guys to try to make sure that we had a winning car here tonight. We were swinging things at it all day but you know we came up with a good combination there for the race.

It was a little too loose all night but I kept trying to move my line around and try to find something that would work for me and I was able to do that a little bit. Good pit stop and just being able to keep our track position all night really helped us so we didn’t have to pass too much and then just getting up there at the end and being able to set sail when it mattered most and get to victory lane.”

DO YOU EXPECT THIS WILL JUST BE THE WAY YOU AND BRAD KESELOWSKI RACE EACH OTHER?

“Isn’t this the way Brad races everybody? I mean, really, it’s just the way it is. That’s why he got spun out. I pulled a slide job on ‘em off of Turn 2 and maybe I wasn’t clear but I was at one point and all he had to do was turn down to the bottom and try to do a crossover Earnhardt move and pass me in the next corner or even try to pull a slide job on me and he didn’t do it. He just drove in the back of me and put me in the fence. And it’s Brad Keselowski so I wasn’t too happy about it so I was going to go back after him and spin him out and I did. Won the race. Good for me.”

KESELOWSKI SAID THAT BECAUSE HE’S ON PROBATION PEOPLE CAN INTENTIONALLY WRECK HIM WITHOUT WORRYING ABOUT PAYBACK. IS THAT ACCURATE?

“I think Brad Keselowski should look himself in the mirror and say I’ve brought this on myself.”
