FONTANA, Calif. -- Brad Keselowski had troubles early on in Sunday's Auto Club 400 at Auto Club Speedway, but rebounded to finish second to race-winner Kyle Larson.
"We were tore all to hell. Gosh, that's unfortunate," Keselowski said. " Got tore up there really early in the race. Went all the way to back, just clawed all the way up to second.
I don't know if we had anything for Kyle and those guys. Car was tore up pretty bad. To get that kind of finish is respectable. Certainly we want to win. Felt like we had a shot to do just that. Didn't come together, so...
That's the way it goes sometimes when you have a 36-race season. You're going to have some adversity and days that don't go your way. That's the way it was for us today. But we made the most of it, so I'm proud of my guys."
Keselowski spun in the beginning laps of the race after making contact with Jimmie Johnson and spinning into the grass.
"I got ran into the back of," Keselowski said on the spin. "It did a lot of damage to the car. We were in a lot of trouble, starting to free fall through the field. Then I got ran over again (laughter).
So I got ran over. I'm not really sure who, why, what. I haven't seen any of that.
"The left rear quarter panel on the car is destroyed. The fenders and quarter panels are critical to the car's performance. We made the most of it, so I'm really proud of that, as well."
