TEAM CHEVY QUALIFYING NOTES AND QUOTES
JUNE 12, 2015
KASEY KAHNE, NO. 5 GREAT CLIPS CHEVROLET SS – POLE WINNER
“I got through (Turns) 1 and 2 pretty good. I just got a little free but was able to stay in it. And then in (Turn) 3 I was like man, I was a little loose there and I’ve been back-pedaling more than I wanted to. So, I pushed harder in (Turn) 3 and I started to kind of slide the nose, so I had to backpedal and go back down. I knew it killed my exit a little, but it was still a great lap. Our Great Clips Chevrolet has had speed all three runs, so I knew we’d have a shot today, so that was cool. It’s been a while since we’ve had a pole.”
HOW IMPORTANT IS IT GOING TO BE TO BE OUT FRONT IN SUNDAY’S RACE?
“It’s going to be really important. The track is going to change a lot, though, come Sunday, with all the racing going on this weekend and then our practices tomorrow. The track will be a lot different Sunday. So, there will be some passing for sure, but it’s not going to be easy. So, track position will play a big role in being there at the end of the race.”
