During an open interview at Kentucky Speedway, Ryan Blaney [#29 Cooper Standard RAM] was asked the following question pertaining any plans for 2013. Q: WHAT WAS THE CONVERSASTION LIKE WHEN YOU FINALLY GOT TO TALK TO BRAD (KESELOWSKI) AND DOES WINNING LAST WEEK IMPACT WHAT YOU’LL BE DOING NEXT SEASON; DO YOU KNOW WHAT YOU’LL BE DOING NEXT SEASON? Blaney: “The conversation with Brad was good.He called me Sunday before the Cup race and was really excited. He was really happy that BKR could finally get that first win. He has been trying hard to do that for a couple of years. He’s put a lot of time and effort into that program. It’s good to see it pay off for him. I think that kind of motivated him for Sunday to do as well as he did at Chicago. The victory, it doesn’t hurt next year; it definitely helps out. Nothing for next year has been discussed yet between anybody. I would like to stay where I’m at but it’s really up in the air right now.” (SRT Motorsports PR)(9-21-2012)
