Brad Keselowski, met with media. Some highlights from the transcript: IS IT FRUSTRATING SITTING HERE KNOWING AFTER YOU WON LAST WEEK YOURE NOT GOING TO BE RUNNING IN THE CUP RACE ON SATURDAY?”Frustrating as far as not running, it really hasnt soaked in that I won. Its hard to get frustrated when you dont even picture yourself as a winner yet. I feel like I can run over there right now and be competitive but the opportunity isnt there and until the opportunity is there it is what it is. Theres a lot of talent over there and you cant take that away from those drivers that run over there every weekend. Id love to be running over there. Ive raced against 15 or 20 of the same guys over here on the Nationwide side so its very similar and I think I could run competitively but the opportunity is not there so Im not really thinking about it. Im thinking about the Nationwide car.” I UNDERSTAND NOW YOU ARE GOING TO BE RUNNING THE ALL-STAR RACE WHICH CAR ARE YOU GOING TO DRIVE?”At this time we havent got the All-Star situation figured out as far as what Im driving and so forth. At this point I havent figured out which car Im driving or how that situation is going to work. I shouldnt say that I havent figured it out I should said that the two teams that I drive for on the Cup side havent figured it out. WHAT IS YOUR SCHEDULE FOR THE REST OF THE YEAR, HAS IT CHANGED AT ALL?”You know that schedule was changing every week before I won so its still changing every week. Originally we were going to run here at Richmond and that didnt work out. A couple of weeks ago that actually got cancelled. As far as knowing locked in what all the rest of my races are I do not know. Theres a couple that I would like to run that we just havent figured out how to run them. Im trying to run Watkins Glen but we dont have that figured out. So theres a couple of races like that we just dont have figured out but Im trying to run them.” WOULD YOU FORGO YOUR ROOKIE STATUS FOR NEXT YEAR IF THE RIGHT OPPORTUNITY CAME ALONG?”I think I already have or Im intending to. I havent because I havent ran enough races but the way were trying to schedule it out were going through that process. When it comes to the rookie situation, I knew at the start of the year we were going to run somewhere around 16 races and the maximum I think is seven or eight, I cant remember specifically. I didnt file for rookie of the year because the last thing I wanted to see was my name at the bottom of that list knowing that you probably couldnt win it unless you ran the whole deal.”(GM Racing)(5-2-2009)
