AUSTIN DILLON QUOTE:
Historically, you have had some good runs at Las Vegas Motor Speedway. Describe racing there.
“Las Vegas Motor Speedway is a great mile-and-a-half. Our No. 3 team felt good there earlier this year and it has been a good track for us. We haven’t always gotten the finishes we deserve, but our performance has been solid. The track is rough through Turns 1 and 2, and you have to be able to cut through the bumps. Restarts are wild, too. Vegas is an awesome place to go.”

KYLE BUSCH QUOTES:
This is your home track. What does it mean to you that you now race here with NASCAR’s Cup Series, and what are some past highlights for you?
“I always remember sitting in the grandstands as a kid, just kind of turning around looking and being like, man, one day, you know, one day I want to race there one day. So Vegas is just a cool track. Years ago it was wider and flatter and put on some really good racing. I finished really well there early on my first few years, then they reconfigured and remade it. I won early on in 2009, I believe it was, to get my only win there. But man, I’ve been so close, I think my top three finishes is really, really high.”
For a track like Las Vegas, where restarts are so hectic and crazy, just take me through a restart here on a race weekend?
“Restarts are sort of the name of the game, I guess, now, because once you get single-filed out and spread out a little bit, it’s hard to make up time and make up ground unless you’re really, really good. And to get by guys that you’re around or in front of you, as well. So you try to get as many as you can and whatever you can. It’s kind of tough, you know, with the defense being as good as the defense can be with guys, where they pull up in front of you and block your air and things like that, where you’ve got to, you know, get out of the gas and whatnot. So it’s definitely changed over the years. This car has changed it again. But it seems like, more and more times, guys are more amped up and more — not amped up, but more ramped up to just be ready to defend and make it harder for guys to make ground as much as you used to when we first went to some of the double-file restart stuff.”
Jesse Love and the No. 2 Whelen Chevrolet at Las Vegas Motor Speedway… Jesse Love has made three career NASCAR Xfinity Series starts at Las Vegas Motor Speedway.

So Begins the Round of 8… Last weekend at the Charlotte Motor Speedway ROVAL, Love kept his Xfinity Series Championship hopes alive by racing his way into the Round of 8. While he began the race at the cutline, a Stage 2 win and 12th place finish overall propelled him to fifth in the points, keeping him in the hunt. Love will travel to Las Vegas again needing to race his way into the next stage, trailing the Championship 4 cutoff by two points.

JESSE LOVE QUOTE:
Starting the Round of 8 at Las Vegas Motor Speedway, what is the mindset for the No. 2 team?
“I’m looking forward going back to Las Vegas. The track itself is fast and technical. We finished third there the last couple of times and I feel like we were good enough to win the race in the fall last year and the spring this year. The Whelen team has made improvements on our package in the simulator since then, and hopefully those pay off. The goal is lock ourselves into the Champ 4 before Martinsville.”

AUSTIN HILL QUOTE:
With past success at Las Vegas Motor Speedway, what is the outlook for the No. 21 team this weekend?
“Las Vegas has always been a good place for me to go, even dating back to the Truck Series days. I’ve won races there on the Truck side and we’ve also been able to get a win on the Xfinity side. We always seem to be in contention when it matters. Even if we don’t win the race, we find ways to run inside the top-five. On a bad day, we run seventh or eighth. The track itself just fits my driving style. Over the years, the track has been bottom dominant, where you want to paint your left side tires on the white line, and I’ve been known to be a bottom feeder or someone who likes to catfish through the corner. Hopefully that trend continues this weekend.”
