Yes, of course we want to win; but we want to advance through all the rounds to give ourselves a shot at the championship. So, consistency has been good for us this year. We just need to continue to do that and execute as a team to get through each of these rounds.
MATT DIBENEDETTO, No. 21 Motorcraft/Quick Lane Ford Mustang -- ARE YOU PLAYING WITH HOUSE MONEY RIGHT NOW? “The way I look at it is I was pumped that we made it in and wanted it bad for the whole team because we know that we could be a playoff contender, not just making it and being there."
That’s a good question. I think honestly, I’d say Aric Almirola. I just think they’re consistent, they’ve been consistently fast at a lot of these tracks.
Driver William Byron winning the final race before the playoffs: "Fortunately, we have pretty long weeks now with no practice or qualifying. We get two extra days, essentially."
Ty Majeski on Racing at Darlington: “I know Darlington will be a tough race track, but I’m excited for the challenge,” said Majeski. “It’s been several years since the Truck Series raced at Darlington, so I’m looking forward to being part of this race. I think it will be a good show for the fans.”
Bayley Currey on Racing at Darlington: “Darlington is a fun but tough track,” said Currey. “I think the Truck Series will put on quite a show here. Our Hardcore Fish & Game Chevrolet looks great for this Throwback weekend. I’m excited and thankful for another chance to go racing with Niece Motorsports.”
RYAN BLANEY, No. 12 Menards/Maytag Ford Mustang -- WHAT DO YOU THINK BRISTOL WILL BE LIKE AS AN ELIMINATION RACE? “I think it’s exciting. It’s the first time Bristol has even been in the playoffs, so that’ll be neat and then making it a cutoff race too, that’ll be even more exciting."
