BRAD KESELOWSKI, No. 2 Miller Lite Ford Fusion (Qualified 1st) – “We have a really fast race car. The Blue Deuce has been fast since we unloaded here and we came here and tested a few weeks back and the guys did a great job giving me an awesome car. I don’t feel like I nailed a perfect lap but my guys carried me with that car. Hopefully it will be this fast on Sunday when it really counts.”
CARL EDWARDS, No. 99 Fastenal Ford Fusion (Qualified 7th) – “That was a pretty decent lap. I am pretty happy with that. Obviously we would like to be another tenth faster but that was okay. We worked really hard and made the right adjustments. I think if I had to do over I could run a couple hundredths faster so I am fairly happy with that. Hopefully we will end up top eight or nine, that would be really great.”
ARIC ALMIROLA, No. 43 Smithfield Ford Fusion (Qualified 18th) – “We missed it just a little bit there. We just were a little too free. I am disappointed in that. The qualifying is so tight here that a tenth the other way would have us a really good starting spot. It is disappointing but I think we have something to build on too. I think in race trim we were pretty happy, so we will just keep working on it for Sunday.”
GREG BIFFLE, No. 16 3M/WB Mason Ford Fusion (Qualified 16th) – “We were definitely free out there. I just got loose and that is the way the car has been since I got here. I am having a hard time driving it right now. We definitely have some work to do to get it better for Sunday.”
JOEY LOGANO, No. 22 Shell Pennzoil Ford Fusion (Qualified 26th) – “I was busted sideways twice. That wasn’t a good sign. We have a lot of work to do before Sunday.”
RICKY STENHOUSE Jr., No. 17 Best Buy Ford Fusion (Qualified 24th) – “That wasn’t very good. We haven’t been very good since we got here honestly. I don’t know what we are going to do. We have a lot of work to do. We just have no grip right now at all, especially rear grip up off. I can’t get the throttle down. We just have a ton of work to do.”
