JOEY LOGANO, No. 22 Hunt Brothers Pizza Ford Mustang Dark Horse (Qualified 2nd)
“The last car. I told Paul (Wolfe) just a second ago that it was going to really suck if the last car beat us and that is what happened. Obviously a real fast lap we ran there and overall it is a really good starting spot. We will tune her in a little bit. We have a little bit of work to do in race trim but I don’t think we are that bad by any means. We started second and won last time, so we will just have to go do it again.”
EVERYONE IS TALKING ABOUT THE TIRES, WHAT DID YOU GUYS FIGURE OUT ABOUT THE TIRES IN PRACTICE EARLIER? “I figured out that we have a lot to look at tonight. I am not quite sure yet. We have some homework to do, so we are going to go back and look at some traces and see what we can come up with for tomorrow.”
JOSH BERRY, No. 21 Eero Ford Mustang Dark Horse (Qualified 4th)
“I felt pretty good in race trim. We didn’t have the fire off speed exactly like we wanted but I was pretty happy with the car and how it drove. Obviously the guys did a really good job getting it ready for qualifying and it drove really well in qualifying. To be able to qualify that high and start up front is a really good start to the weekend for us.”
