KYLE BUSCH, No. 18 M&M’s Crispy Toyota Camry, Joe Gibbs Racing
Starting Position: 8th
How was your qualifying session?
“Our laps weren’t great, we were just okay. We certainly were just way too loose and just didn’t quite have the balance we needed there for qualifying in order to get the speed out of it for some of the corners. We’ll take it and go into the race.”

DENNY HAMLIN, No. 11 FedEx Ground Toyota Camry, Joe Gibbs Racing
Starting Position: 13th

CARL EDWARDS, No. 19 Stanley Toyota Camry, Joe Gibbs Racing
Starting Position: 15th

CLINT BOWYER, No. 15 Maxwell House Toyota Camry, Michael Waltrip Racing
Starting Position: 18th

DAVID RAGAN, No. 55 Aaron’s Dream Machine Toyota Camry, Michael Waltrip Racing
Starting Position: 19th
How was your qualifying lap?
“That was a good pickup from practice. It just wasn’t quite good enough to get in the top-12. I think yesterday we just didn’t make a good qualifying run and so we didn’t know exactly how much we were going to pick up and I didn’t know how aggressive I could be and so we picked up almost a half a second from yesterday. We’ve got a really good Aaron’s Dream Machine. I think our car is really good on older tires. I think we’ve got a solid top-10 car so hopefully we can have us a good start tomorrow and get some spots on the initial start. I feel really good about going into the raceon Sunday.”

MATT KENSETH, No. 20 Dollar General Toyota Camry, Joe Gibbs Racing
Starting Position: 26th

MATT DIBENEDETTO, No. 83 Burger King/Cosmo Motors Toyota Camry, BK Racing
