BRAD KESELOWSKI, No. 2 Discount Tire Ford Mustang
Q. What would a Daytona 500 win mean for you?
BRAD KESELOWSKI: It’s something I thought a lot about. There’s a couple thoughts on my mind. Before last season I had never really won a major NASCAR race. I won the championship, done a lot of those things, which is certainly great. I hadn’t won a major. Last year after winning Darlington and Indianapolis, gosh, the thrill from that. I’m still kind of on a high from that. That was almost six months ago.
