After a run that I had there I got the deal  with Panther to run full-time and won a couple Indy car races there. I’ve done a  lot of testing there, from ARCA cars to Cup cars. It’s notoriously bumpy. I  remember Brad ran the middle groove all race last year and that takes a little  getting used to because it’s different than a lot of mile-and-a-halfs that you  run. You want to be all the way at the bottom but it’s just so rough down  there.”-- Sam Hornish, Jr.SAM HORNISH JR.– No. 12 Wurth Dodge  ChallengerCrew Chief: Chad WalterCareer Stats:Starts:  47 Wins:  1Top Fives:  5Top 10s:  13Poles:  0Laps Led:  1822012 Season Stats:Starts:  14Wins:  0Top Fives:  3Top  10s:  7Poles:  0Laps Led:  67• Fourth in Nationwide Series driver  standings, 34 points behind leader Elliott Sadler.• Will be making his  first-ever Nationwide Series start at the 1.5-mile Kentucky track.• Has  completed 99.92 percent of all possible laps in 14 NNS races this season (2,516  of a possible 2,518).• Claimed first top-five finish on a road course  (fifth-place) last week at Road America.• Average finish of 9.9 this season  in 14 races.BRAD KESELOWSKI– No. 22 Discount Tire Dodge  ChallengerCrew Chief: Jeremy BullinsCareer Stats:Starts:  179 Wins:  18Top Fives:  79Top 10s:  110Poles:  12Laps Led:  2,8922012 Season Stats:Starts:  11Wins:  1Top Fives:  6Top  10s:  7Poles:  0Laps Led:  138• Defending race winner of the Feed the  Children 300.• Has finished fourth or better in four NNS starts at the  1.5-mile speedway (average finish of 2.8).• Finished 10th in most recent NNS  start at Michigan (race No. 13).• Led 67 laps en route to NNS win at  Charlotte in May.KENTUCKY SPEEDWAY NUMBERS• Dodge has one  Nationwide win at Kentucky.

It’s kind of like a  Texas or a Vegas in that sense, as far as the roughness goes. There are a lot of  compromises that you have to make from a setup standpoint.”-- Jeremy  Bullins, Crew Chief, No. 22 Discount Tire Dodge Challenger
