Kenseth on racing at Kentucky:
“I’ve only raced at Kentucky once now and we ran pretty competitively there to finish well in last year’s race. My comfort level is high going into this weekend, but I’m just not as familiar with the track yet as a lot of the guys who have competed in Nationwide series races there in the past. I’m looking forward to going back to Kentucky this weekend because there were a lot of great fans in the area. There was a lot of great support from the region and I thought it was a great race last year, so I’m looking forward to another great weekend at Kentucky.”
Crew chief Jimmy Fennig on racing at Kentucky:
“Kentucky is still a place that we’re really learning at since last year was our first Cup race there. Our car had a solid run in last year’s race, and we’ve had a lot of success at 1.5-mile tracks as well. We’re taking a car that has been one of our great intermediate track cars so we’ll base a lot of where we start the weekend off of our notes from last year’s race weekend, and then adjust from there.”
