JOEY LOGANO, No. 22 Shell/Pennzoil Ford Fusion – “We didn’t have the speed to get the pole, but I just didn’t go fast enough the last one. Overall, we pressed as hard as we could today. We made our car better and it’s got short-run speed, but it just falls off. Hopefully, we made the right changes for the race.”
RYAN BLANEY, No. 12 PPG Ford Fusion – “Our second run was pretty good for me. I was having a frustrating day with kind of being stuck in 25th position and it looked like that’s what it was gonna be again, but I thought we made some good changes and kind of figured out a couple of things and got a lot better. We picked up a little bit the last round, but just not as much as a lot of other guys. Hopefully, the race will go well for us tomorrow. We’ll stay out of trouble and see what we can do.”
MICHAEL MCDOWELL, No. 34 K-LOVE Ford Fusion – “It’s a great day. I’m happy for everybody at Front Row Motorsports. The K-LOVE Radio Ford was fast, but we just missed the carousel a little bit on that last lap and got wide and gave up a few tenths, but I was pushing hard. Obviously, I knew the worst we could start was 12th, so I wanted to try to get as much as we could. I probably just tried to get a little bit too much, but it’s been a good weekend so far and we’ve got a long race tomorrow. Hopefully, we’ll cap it off.”
ARIC ALMIROLA, No. 10 Go Bowling Ford Fusion – “That was a really good effort for us in qualifying. This is a really important place to qualify good at and I was really impressed with the car that Johnny and all these guys brought me. We’re looking forward to it. It’s the Go Bowling weekend at The Glen. We had a fun day today in the Go Bowling Ford Mustang and qualified good in the Go Bowling Ford Fusion and hopefully we can get out of here tomorrow with a good run.”
