TEAM CHEVY QUALIFYING NOTES AND QUOTES
SEPTEMBER 26, 2014
KEVIN HARVICK, NO. 4 BUDWEISER CHEVROLET SS – POLE WINNER
ON HIS RUN:
“Thank you. It is exciting. These guys do an awesome job in preparing the race cars. The first time here this year we struggled here after we unloaded a little bit, but they had it good by Saturday. We unloaded really good this time and it has carried through the weekend. So just really happy for everybody on our Budweiser Chevrolet. I have never really qualified that well really anywhere, but here, I guess that is going to be a good deal to have the first pit stall. Here, especially under yellow you just don’t have to go very far when you are leaving the pit box. The good pit stalls are typically on that end of pit road, and if you wind up having to get out of your pits, and guys are still coming in as you are in the front of the pack, it is hard to get out of your stall. So, just really excited.”
ON HIS SEVENTH POLE POSITION OF THE SEASON
“It’s been an amazing year for everybody on our Budweiser Stewart-Haas racing team; they just do a great job in preparing the race cars and put a lot of effort into qualifying and it’s translated into a lot of good finishes. We’ve just got to keep doing what we’re doing. Track position is huge here, especially at the beginning of the race. I’ve never been in that stall, so I guess it’s going to be okay on that end of pit road. But all in all, I’m just really proud of all my guys. They’ve done a great job all year, but particularly over the last month and just getting consistent cars, finishing races, and doing what we have to do to get those solid runs.”
WITH 41 POINTS AHEAD OF THE CUTOFF, WHAT’S THE THINKING FOR THE TEAM GOING INTO SUNDAY?
“To just try to win. That’s really the thinking at this particular point. Obviously, points-wise, we feel like we’re in good shape and we just want to keep building on the momentum we have to try to further that to lead into Kansas.”
