SRT Motorsports - Dodge Sprint Cup Series Fina Qualifying - Sonoma

June 21, 2012 , Sonoma, Calif. -  Brad Keselowski (No. 2 Miller Lite Dodge Charger R/T) Qualified 13th
HOW WAS YOUR QUALIFYING LAP? "The car was a little bit better than the driver. I may have pushed (the car) too much trying to gain a little bit more on the lap. That's racing. I'd rather go down swinging than not try at all. I just made a little mistake down in (Turns) 1 and 2. It was a good effort. I think that we've made the car better in practice today and that's encouraging for Sunday."

ARE YOU HAPPY WITH THE CAR’S FORWARD BITE AND AERO BALANCE? "I can get happier, but so far so good. We'll keep working on it. I'm pretty happy."

A.J. Allmendinger (No. 22 Shell/Pennzoil Dodge Charger R/T) Qualified 17th
TALK ABOUT YOUR QUALIFYING RUN: “I'm not sure what direction to go or what we're missing. What we learned from testing isn't translating as fully as we were expecting. The whole platform of the car just seems unsettled. I could tell from the start of the lap that we were off but I pushed to get as much as we could. Obviously, we expected to be higher up there, but we will go back and re-evaluate what we need. I think we need to focus on the front end and if we can get that better I think it will carry through the car.”

Robby Gordon (No. 7 MAPEI/Save Mart Supermarkets Dodge Charger R/T) Qualified 34th
HOW HAPPY ARE YOU WITH YOUR QUALIFYING LAP? "I'm happy because we're in the race on Sunday. I'm not happy with where we're going to end up in qualifying. We just struggled for forward bite. I was very conservative on my lap. Our car has more than (that) but I just couldn't push it like I wanted to. If I make one mistake, I go home. I had to be conservative and we got a decent lap in our Save Mart Dodge."

WHAT WILL YOU WORK ON TOMORROW IN THE FINAL PRACTICES? "We know what we need to do. When you're outside of the top 35 in owner points you have to play it safe in qualifying. We made the show. There's two different races, one to get into the race and the race itself. We really have to work on fuel mileage, fuel mileage and fuel mileage. We’ll look at rear tire wear as well. Those are the two things and then we'll go for it."
