Kenseth on racing at New Hampshire Motor Speedway:
“New Hampshire is a really challenging track because it’s a one-mile track that drives like a flat short track. It seems like you’re always fighting for position there because the track is so narrow that it’s difficult to pass, so we really rely on good pit stops to help gain positions. Loudon has been a place that I’ve struggled at but our goal is to get a good clean run on Sunday in order to make up some of our position in the point standings that we lost last weekend at Chicago.”
Crew chief Jimmy Fennig on racing at New Hampshire Motor Speedway:
“Hopefully we’ll qualify better this weekend at Loudon because we’re going to look at some different set-ups that we’ve been working on. In the spring, we may not have finished where we wanted to, but I felt like our car raced well at Loudon. The car we’re bringing this weekend we last ran at Richmond, and although it wasn’t a winning car there, we know what the car does and how it reacts to certain set-ups. We know this is one of our worst tracks, but we’re going to work as hard as we in order to get a good run this weekend.”
