From the Driver’s Seat:
Kasey Kahne: “This is a good track to drive because of the three different corners. The team and I are always trying to get the best feel at all three corners which is tough. We’re looking forward to working hard at it this weekend.”
From the Pit Box:
Travis Mack: “From a setup perspective, we learned a lot in Charlotte last weekend and were able to make those little tweaks and changes to the same car that we used in Texas. Last year we qualified 11th and looked at those setup notes and adjusted them to Kasey’s driving style.”
