TEAM CHEVY QUALIFYING NOTES AND QUOTES
JUNE 5, 2015
KURT BUSCH, NO. 41 HAAS AUTOMATION CHEVROLET SS – Pole Winner
“Wow, what a day, today. I feel like there are six corners out there as hard as I was working; corner entry, corner exit. The car was just off-balance, especially with the new bumps in Turn 2. And then we got way loose. I think we were 30th in practice. And we had to drop back and punt. Daniel Knost, his set-up, is what we reverted to from last year when we qualified outside pole. So, that’s what it’s all about, team communication and working hard together as a group. So, that’s to Gene Haas and Tony Stewart and everybody at Stewart-Haas Racing to be a pole-sitter today. The circumstances though, I’d like to see everybody finish their lap. I always thought they should freeze the time when somebody spins. That way everybody still gets to get back out there and make their lap. We’re on the pole. Thanks to Haas Automation, Chevrolet, State Water Heaters; great pole position. We’ll take it. We worked hard for it today. I’m very surprised and happy about the teamwork.”
WHAT DO YOU FOCUS ON MOST TOMORROW DURING PRACTICE?
“Ignoring the bumps. I mean the bumps, there’s grocery store parking lots around the country that are jealous of those three bumps that developed. It’s a beautiful tunnel entryway on the underside. The topside struggles with these bumps now. If I could ignore those and get our car dialed-in in (Turns) 1 and 3, then we’ll be a better car.”
