It was an interesting day. There was a lot of discipline required and it was a fun race, to be honest, because you just had to be so smart behind the wheel. It would bite you in a heartbeat and you had to have a good set-up. I think we had a good set-up and tried to run the smartest race I could.”
Brad Keselowski said.

The 2012 NASCAR CUP champion seemed very shocked by the overall tier wear that affected the race. The tire degradation seemed to have a bigger impact on this race than previously and is definitely something Goodyear will have to look into to avoid in the future.
