AUSTIN DILLON QUOTE:
What are your thoughts on running at New Hampshire Motor Speedway?
“I really like New Hampshire Motor Speedway. I’ve had a lot of success there in the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series, NASCAR XFINITY Series and even some really good runs in the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series, but it’s a place I’ve never been able to win at before. In the July race we ran eighth and it was a really good finish, but I think we can improve on that. It was one of my first few races with Slugger Labbe and now that we have a few more races together, I think we have something to build off of. We’re bringing a fast car and we have nothing to lose.”
Paul Menard, No. 27 Sylvania / Menards Chevrolet SS

This Week’s Sylvania / Menards Chevrolet at New Hampshire Motor Speedway … The No. 27 team will use chassis No. 488 this weekend for the Sylvania 300 at New Hampshire Motor Speedway. This Chevy SS was utilized earlier this season at Martinsville Speedway where Menard started 13th and finished 23rd.
New Hampshire Stats … Menard has 17 NASCAR Sprint Cup Series starts at the 1.058-mile track. He’s finished in the top 20 six times with four top-10 starts. He’s completed 99.2 percent of laps in competition, for a total of 5,071 laps around the Loudon, N.H.-based venue.

Last Time in Loudon … Menard qualified ninth in last year’s September event and finished 21st after chasing adjustments all day. A top-20 finish wasn’t out of the question for the No. 27, but a loose-handling car caused the team to fall one lap down to the leader. It proved difficult to regain that back with 109 laps remaining, ultimately leading the RCR driver to a 21st-place finish.
PAUL MENARD QUOTE:
What are your thoughts heading into the second Chase for the Sprint Cup race at New Hampshire Motor Speedway?
“New Hampshire is always a challenge for us. It’s probably our worst track in the Chase. It’s a one-mile track that races like a short track. It’s flat and hard to pass. We’ve had some decent runs, but it’s usually hit or miss for us. We have yet to find some consistency there. It’s a tough little track to manage your brakes and tires along with keeping the fenders on it. You have to have all three to have a good run.”

RYAN NEWMAN QUOTE:
What is the key to running well at New Hampshire Motor Speedway?
“Loudon is flat and requires a lot of finesse. You have to qualify well there. It’s difficult to pass, especially when you are dealing with 15 people who do not want to let you go. So if you are that 16th qualifier of the Chase contenders, you have a lot of work to do. Qualifying in front of a lot of different people is important, and having good pit stops. At Loudon, we are only looking at three or four opportunities to come down pit road. Because of that, you have to be buttoned up before you even get started. Good news is, statistically, Loudon is one of my best tracks and it’s nice to know that I have wins at all three races in the Challenger Round.”

How do you like racing at Kentucky?
“Kentucky has always been a good place for RCR and ECR engine package. I like Kentucky, I look forward to going there. We’ve got a really strong group of races coming up that are good race tracks for me and for our No. 2 Shore Lodge team.”
Is there something about Kentucky that fits RCR?
“I think it just fits our package that we run at the 1.5-mile tracks. I think it’s really suited for rough race tracks, flat race tracks. That would be the best thing I can contribute it to.”
Are there places there you try to dodge, or do you make your car work over top of it and live with it?
“I feel like the best approach is to make you car work best right through the middle of it. If you can handle through them, you always know as a last resort you can try a different line and try to miss them. But, if you can drive right through them, you’ll beat a lot of cars.”

BRANDON JONES QUOTES:
What do you think you can take away from your start at Kentucky Speedway in the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series that you’ll be able to use this weekend in the XFINITY Series race?
“I actually didn’t get any practice time in the truck because weather cancelled our practice session, so we had to start fresh for the race. That was a little different for me, but we got a lot of laps in during the race. I ran behind people and in the top-five for a little bit. I think just being able to have laps under my belt will help in this XFINITY Series race. Hopefully this time, we’ll be able to practice.”
It’s said Kentucky Speedway is one of the tougher tracks to race. What are your thoughts?
“Yeah, it was a little tough. I’d say, personally, Kansas Speedway has been the toughest 1.5-mile track with no banking anywhere on the track. I haven’t run on many 1.5-mile tracks, but logging laps at them helps when I get back into the Barrett Jackson Premium Auto Care/Menards Chevrolet with RCR.”
